Implementing a successful tuberculosis programme within primary care services in a conflict area using the stop TB strategy
The NTP Afghanistan is an example that public health programmes can be effectively implemented in fragile states. High political commitment and strong local leadership are essential factors for such programmes. To ensure long-term effectiveness of the NTP, the international support should be withdrawn in a phased manner, coupled with a sequential increase in resources allocated to the NTP by the Government of Afghanistan
Hopelessness as a basis for tuberculosis diagnostic delay in the Arkhangelsk region
The main contributing factor to unsuccessful health-seeking behaviour for patients with tuberculosis was identified as "being overpowered by hopelessness." This should be taken into consideration when creating any preventive programs and diagnostic algorithms aimed at increasing knowledge about TB, improving the health system, decreasing alcohol consumption and reducing the poverty of the people in Arkhangelsk
Operational challenges in managing Isoniazid Preventive Therapy in child contacts
IPT delivery to children remains an operational challenge, especially in high TB-HIV burden communities. A tool to improve IPT management and targeting sputum smear and/or culture-positive TB child contacts may overcome some of these challenges and should be developed and piloted in such settings
Treatment delay among tuberculosis patients in Tanzania
In this patient sample in Tanzania half of the new smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients had a treatment delay longer than 12 weeks. Delay was similar in men and women and among urban and rural patients, but longer in the young and older age groups. Patients using traditional healers had a 25% longer median delay
Indoor solid fuel use and tuberculosis in China
In a population where the majority had proper ventilation in cooking places, the association between use of solid fuel for cooking or for heating and tuberculosis was not statistically significant
Rusen and Enarson Respond
We appreciate Lauer and Birn’s interest in our article. However, many of the concerns they raise are speculative and are not consistent with the operational reality of FIDELIS. First, the authors question the local nature of the FIDELIS projects and suggest that FIDELIS is most accessible to organizations affiliated with developed countries. In fact, the projects approved to date are truly local in nature; internationally associated nongovernment…
Fidelis—Innovative Approaches to Increasing Global Case Detection of Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis was declared a global public health emergency in 1993. In 2003, only 45% of the world’s estimated new smear-positive tuberculosis cases were detected—well below the 70% global case detection target set by the World Health Organization. The FIDELIS (Fund for Innovative DOTS Expansion Through Local Initiatives to Stop TB) initiative is a new global disease control initiative that has been developed to rapidly assess and implement innov…
