  • Scaling-up tuberculosis preventive therapy to HIV-negative contacts of bacteriologically confirmed TB cases aged 5 years and above – Lessons from a tuberculosis preventive therapy surge activity in Za…

    Open AccessPhallon Blessing Mwaba, Innocent Mwaba et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    While tuberculosis preventive therapy (TPT) coverage among people living with HIV in Zambia has improved, uptake among HIV-negative contacts aged ≥5 years remains low. Despite evidence showing that TPT can reduce TB incidence by up to 60% in HIV-negative individuals, there is a paucity of evidence on programmatic rollout to this population in Zambia and the region. We present programme data from a TPT surge aimed at increasing uptake among ≥5 yea…

  • Multimorbidity and health-related quality of life after tuberculosis treatment in Zimbabwe

    Open AccessClaire Jacqueline Calderwood, Edson T Marambire et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Chronic conditions both drive development of and are consequences of tuberculosis (TB). While there is growing awareness of chronic lung disease, data on other health conditions post-TB are limited. In this cross-sectional study in Zimbabwe, we offered adults with pulmonary TB an integrated health check at or after treatment completion, assessing uptake and yield. Members of the same households were also offered the intervention. Selecting househ…

  • Delivering and beyond

    Open AccessEzio Távora dos Santos Filho, Anete TrajmanARTICLEJournal of Global Health2026

    Expansion of tuberculosis (TB) preventive treatment (TPT) in contacts has been a challenge worldwide. Brazil is no exception, despite the publication of TB treatment guidelines as early as 1980. The ExpandTPT operational research programme was conducted from 2023 to 2025 in two phases across eight Brazilian high TB-burden cities to scale up TPT among contacts as per national guidelines. The programme was a partnership among the Brazilian TB Resea…

  • Refining research outcomes

    Open AccessLeyla Sophie Larsson, Claire Jacqueline Calderwood et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Most tuberculosis diagnostic validation studies use microbiological or combination reference standards to define tuberculosis. We convened an Endpoint Review Committee (ERC) to define outcomes in ERASE-TB, a longitudinal cohort study across three high tuberculosis-burden countries, aimed at validating novel diagnostics for early detection. Herein, we describe processes and outcomes of the ERC. ERASE-TB enrolled 2,109 household contacts of people …

    Tuberculosis preventive treatment (TPT) is an essential intervention recommended for all child contacts in Ethiopia under 15 years who are at risk of tuberculosis (TB) infection. We conducted a cost and cost-effectiveness analysis of home-based versus facility-based TPT provision for child contacts in Ethiopia. As part of the CHIP TB trial, a pragmatic, cluster-randomized trial conducted at eighteen clinics in Ethiopia, clinics were randomized to…

  • Tuberculosis healthcare service disruptions during the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil, India and South Africa

    Open AccessAbigail K de Villiers, Muhammad Osman et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading infectious disease cause of death worldwide. In recent years, stringent measures to contain the spread of SARS-CoV-2 have led to considerable disruptions of healthcare services for TB in many countries. The extent to which these measures have affected TB testing, treatment initiation and outcomes has not been comprehensively assessed. We aimed to estimate TB healthcare service disruptions occurring during the COVI…

  • Partial recovery of tuberculosis preventive treatment in Brazil after pandemic drawback

    Open AccessIane Coutinho, Layana Costa Alves et al.ARTICLECadernos de Saude Publica2024References: 1

    Brazil was heavily affected by COVID-19 both with death toll and economically, with absence of a centralized Federal Government response. Tuberculosis (TB) notifications decreased in 2020 but partial recovery was observed in 2021. We have previously shown a sharp (93%) reduction in TB preventive treatment notifications among five Brazilian cities with more than 1,000 notifications in 2021.

  • Nigeria healthcare worker Sars-CoV-2 serology study

    Open AccessDike Ojji, Amelia Sancilio et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Healthcare workers, both globally and in Nigeria, have an increased risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection compared with the general population due to higher risk contacts, including occupational exposures. In addition, primary healthcare workers represent an important group for estimating prior infection to SARS-CoV-2 because they work at the first point-of-contact for most patients yet have not been included in prior COVID-19 seroepidemiology research i…

  • Using rapid antigen testing for early, safe return-to-work for healthcare personnel after Sars-CoV-2 infection in a healthcare system in Pakistan

    Open AccessUnab I Khan, Syed Faisal Mahmood et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Anticipating staff shortage during the Omicron variant surge, we modified the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s contingency guidelines at a healthcare system in Pakistan. Infected staff had a SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen test after 5–7 days of isolation, to decide a safe return-to-work. This led to signifcant cost savings without compromising patient/staff safety
