Elizabeth Taylor has donated $150,000 to fight the resurgence of tuberculosis, which poses a special danger to people with AIDS.
"After many years, TB is back, and deadlier than ever," Taylor said in a statement Thursday. "What's not yet back is the same government response we saw decades ago."The American Foundation for AIDS Research, which Taylor founded, next week plans to unveil a campaign to raise money to fight TB. It announced her donation Thursday.
TB, which can be fatal, was virtually wiped out decades ago. It has made a resurgence in recent years, preying largely on people already weakened by the AIDS virus.
