Tuberculosis is likewise at least 5000 years old, and kills around 50% of those infected.

>Roughly one-quarter of the world's population has been infected with M. tuberculosis, with new infections occurring in about 1% of the population each year. However, most infections with M. tuberculosis do not cause disease, and 90–95% of infections remain asymptomatic.

Is that an imperial or metric blip?
