Fighting tuberculosis hand in hand
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease closely intertwined with stigma, discrimination, and the social determinants of health. Communities of people affected by TB are experts in their care pathways, but the TB field continues to fall short of meaningfully engaging communities in TB research. This is a missed opportunity to improve the quality, relevance, person-centeredness, positive impact, and sustainability of TB research outputs. We ackn…
End of treatment and 12-month post-treatment outcomes in patients treated with all-oral regimens for rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis in Ukraine
The World Health Organization has called for operational research on all-oral shorter regimens for rifampin-resistant and multidrug-resistant forms of tuberculosis (RR/MDR-TB). We followed a cohort of patients in Zhytomyr, Ukraine for effectiveness, safety, tolerability and feasibility of bedaquiline & delamanid-based treatment regimens under programmatic conditions. This was a single-arm implementation study. All consenting persons with RR/MDR-T…
“You find yourself in a very humiliating situation”
Background: Brazil remains one of the 30 countries with the highest tuberculosis (TB) and TB-HIV coinfection burden. Post-TB lung disease (PTLD) is a set of sequelae that can occur in people who have been cured of TB. Aim: To learn about the experiences of people living with PTLD (PLPTLD) and how healthcare workers (HCW) manage PTLD. Methods: An exploratory qualitative study with a purposive sample of PLPTLD and HCW from two different cities. Ope…
When it comes to stopping tuberculosis, what is actually “missing”
Tuberculosis in times of Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused widespread disruptions to tuberculosis (TB) care and service delivery in 2020, setting back progress in the fight against TB by several years. As newer COVID-19 variants continue to devastate many low and middle-income countries in 2021, the extent of this setback is likely to increase. Despite these challenges, the TB community can draw on the comprehensive approaches used to manage COVID-19 to help restore progr…
A very humiliating illness”
Beyond being a "very humiliating illness", RR-TB robs people of their physical, social, economic, psychological, and emotional well-being far beyond the period when treatment is being administered. Efforts to tackle these issues are as important as new drugs and diagnostics in the fight against TB

Community-based treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in Lima, Peru
Sexe, drogue et violences structurelles
The authors stress the «structural violence », poverty, racism, gender inequality, in the determining of exposure to the risk of HIV. The spread of the epidemic, which paticularly affects certain kinds of women, lead them to conclude that «the social forces are becoming biological ». This should result in a research on the contamination mechanisms, the constraints placed upon the actors, and to determine which groups of women are most exposed. Ob…

Sociocultural influences on the use of alternative therapies …
