Tuberculosis

PPD test
What a terrible disease!  Only 10% of those exposed to this as immunocompetent people actually get infected, but with some much HIV it is far more common in Mozambique.

Side effects/complications of TB include: abdominal TB, Pott's Disease (particularly in children), and along with pulmonary a whole host of extrapulmonary presentations.
