He turned me on to Farmers work and the book 'Mountains Beyond Mountains.) Per out phone discussion, I'll follow up with a secondary post to better explain why I feel that NPR has some problems with the depth of their reporting. As you mentioned, I don't make the connection between XDR and MDR, but I believe that the connection is there, and that there is more to the story than what NPR reported. Enjoyed the chat!

I don't know the details, but they discuss XDR--extremely drug resistant-- TB. The story talks about a small percent of drug-resistant TB cases that are XDR. The disconnect between what Farmer says and the NPR story may not be there. Check the NPR story again. I don’t know the details, but they discuss XDR–extremely drug resistant– TB.
