  • Projected population level impact and cost-effectiveness of clinic and community-based tuberculosis screening approaches

    Open AccessNicky McCreesh, Palwasha Y Khan et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    The South African National Department of Health have set ambitious targets to scale up TB testing, focusing primarily on clinic attendees. In the context of declining funding for TB care and prevention, the most cost-effective approaches for targeting testing should be identified. We developed a mathematical model of TB in South Africa, explicitly incorporating clinic attendance by sex and HIV/ART status. We simulated six screening approaches ove…

  • Predicted choice and acceptability of regimens for tuberculosis preventive treatment among people living with HIV in Uganda – A discrete choice experiment

    Open AccessHélène E Aschmann, Allan Musinguzi et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Little is known about people living with HIV’s preferences for different tuberculosis preventive treatment (TPT) regimens, or the conditions under which they would accept treatment. Actionable evidence regarding preference for TPT is needed to inform policy and the development of novel TPT regimens. Adults engaged in care at an HIV clinic in Kampala, Uganda, completed a discrete choice experiment survey with nine random choice tasks. In each task…

  • Mapping the research, policy, and clinical management landscape of post-tuberculosis lung disease

    Open AccessYochanan Hoppenstein, Olena Ivanova et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Tuberculosis (TB) can result in debilitating long-term health consequences, most notably post-tuberculosis lung disease (PTLD). However, these conditions remain insufficiently integrated into global policy and routine care, contributing to fragmented care for millions of TB survivors. This scoping review maps the current landscape to identify critical gaps and support the harmonisation of research, policy, and practice. We conducted a scoping rev…

  • Identifying pediatric extrapulmonary tuberculosis through an active screening program

    Open AccessGiordano Sosa Soto, Jeffrey I Campbell et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    We assessed 188 children diagnosed with extrapulmonary tuberculosis in Bangladesh. Over half were aged 10–14 years old. Common symptoms included fever (91.5%), weight loss (88.3%), and decreased appetite (72.9%). Four children died prior to treatment; of 176 children on treatment, 4.0% had unsuccessful outcomes, potentially influenced by age and low weight. Findings highlight the need for improved diagnosis and management in children.

  • Tuberculosis Under Apartheid in Cape Town, South Africa, 1950–1989

    Open AccessRene Raad, Graeme Hoddinott et al.ARTICLESocial History of Medicine2026
