Rifater, developed by Marion Merrell Dow combines the world's top TB drugs rifampin, isoniazid and pyrazinamide making it easier for patients to take their medicine as prescribed. "That sounds sort of simple but it's really very important because TB becomes drug resistant when patients don't take their medicine properly," said Joseph Bates, president of the American Lung Association.

"It's an advance we should have done long before." The World Health Organization says a third of the world's population is infected with the TB germ and 8 million get sick every year. Some 3 million die, more than from all other infectious diseases combined. Some 10-million Americans are infected, and about 10 percent will eventually develop the lung disease. Last year, 25,313 Americans got sick with TB. That's a slight drop from 1992 but still a 15 percent increase from 1985, when the once-declining disease began a powerful resurgence here.

Active TB is highly contagious and is spread by coughing and sneezing. One in every six cases is resistant to at least one TB drug. So, to give patients the best chance of curing TB fast, doctors recommend they take rifampin, isoniazid and pyrazinamide every day for six months. and volume to handle this type of problem are the Americans. We turned to them for that help." Thousands of Rwandans remain trapped in hotels, stadiums and churches throughout Kigali.

The city has become a crumbled, glass-strewn ghost town since fierce fighting flared after Rwanda's president died in a suspicious plane crash April 6. Most refugees are living without food or water except for occasional foreign relief aid. The United Nations has one plane for the relief mission, and fighting frequently closes Kigali's badly shelled airport, halting deliveries. The United Nations reduced its contingent in Rwanda last month from 2,500 to about 450. It has authorized deploying a total of 5,500 peacekeepers in Rwanda, but it is not clear when the additional soldiers might arrive.

U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali called the lack of world response to the mission a "scandal," and Dallaire reiterated that frustration. "I need tents, I need kitchens, I need digging utensils, I need APCs armored personnel carriers, I need helicopters, I need communications equipment. I need the equivalent of a brigade here," he said. KIGALI, Rwanda (AP) The commander of U.N.

troops in Rwanda appealed to the United States on Wednesday to send armored personnel carriers and other military equipment to help evacuate thousands of refugees. A U.S. official said later in Washington that the commander would get about 50 vehicles and that arrangements were being worked out. Earlier in the day, a State Department official said the request was being discussed with the United Nations. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity.

The commander, Brig. Gen. Romeo Dallaire of Canada, also said that a U.N. team had uncovered evidence of killings at a refugee camp on the eve of another round of cease-fire talks between rebels and the government. U.N.

workers resumed delivery of food to thousands of stranded civilians in the embattled capital, Kigali, only to cut it off again as mortar and artillery rounds slammed into wide swaths of the city. Dallaire stressed that U.N. lack of manpower and equipment to rescue refugees during talks with senior American officials in Nairobi, Kenya, on Tuesday. "Who else can do it?" Dallaire said. "I don't know if the Russians have that capability available.
