  • Covid-19, tuberculosis, and HIV triad

    Open AccessHelena Huerga, Maëlenn Gouillou et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    People living with HIV (PLHIV) have an increased risk of tuberculosis (TB) and severe COVID-19. TB and COVID-19 present with overlapping symptoms and co-infection can lead to poor outcomes. We assessed the frequency of SARS-CoV-2 positive serology and SARS-CoV-2 infection and the risk of mortality at 6 months in PLHIV with TB disease and SARS-CoV-2 infection. This multi-country, prospective, observational study, conducted between 7 th September 2…

  • Cost-effectiveness of integrating paediatric tuberculosis services into child healthcare services in Africa

    Open AccessNyashadzaishe Mafirakureva, Lise Denoeud‐Ndam et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    BACKGROUND: In 2021, over one million children developed tuberculosis, resulting in 214 000 deaths, largely due to inadequate diagnosis and treatment. The diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis is limited in most high-burden countries because services are highly centralised at secondary/tertiary levels and are managed in a vertical, non-integrated way. To improve case detection and treatment among children, the World Health Organisation (WHO) re…

  • Effect of integrating paediatric tuberculosis services into child healthcare services on case detection in Africa

    Open AccessLise Denoeud‐Ndam, Boris Tchounga et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    INTRODUCTION: Paediatric tuberculosis (TB) underdiagnosis is a critical concern. The INPUT stepped-wedge cluster-randomised trial assessed the impact of integrating child TB services into child healthcare on TB case detection among children under age 5 years. METHODS: We compared the standard of care, providing TB care in specific TB clinics (control phase), with the Catalysing Paediatric TB Innovations (CaP-TB) intervention, integrating TB servi…

  • Improving TB detection among children in routine clinical care through intensified case finding in facility-based child health entry points and decentralized management

    Open AccessJean-François Lemaire, Jennifer Cohn et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    In 2022, an estimated 1.25 million children 50% remained undiagnosed or unreported. WHO recently recommended integrated and decentralized models of care as an approach to improve access to TB services for children, but evidence remains limited. The Catalyzing Paediatric TB Innovation project (CaP-TB) implemented a multi-pronged intervention to improve TB case finding in children in nine sub-Saharan African countries. The intervention introduced s…

  • Updating the WHO target product profile for next-generation Mycobacterium tuberculosis drug susceptibility testing at peripheral centres

    Open AccessEmily Lai-Ho MacLean, Paolo Miotto et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    There were approximately 10 million tuberculosis (TB) cases in 2020, of which 500,000 were drug-resistant. Only one third of drug-resistant TB cases were diagnosed and enrolled on appropriate treatment, an issue partly driven by a lack of rapid, accurate drug-susceptibility testing (DST) tools deployable in peripheral settings. In 2014, World Health Organization (WHO) published target product profiles (TPPs) which detailed minimal and optimal cri…
