Tuberculosis which appears to be totally resistant to antibiotic treatment has been reported for the first time by Indian doctors.
Concern over drug-resistant strains of TB is growing, with similar 'incurable' TB emerging in Italy and Iran.
Doctors in Mumbai said 12 patients had a "totally drug resistant" form of the infection, and three have died.
The Indian Health Ministry is investigating the cases and has sent a team of doctors to Mumbai.
