Provider perspectives on empirical antibiotic treatment for tuberculosis-like symptoms in South Africa’s private general practice sector

We aimed to describe GPs’ decision-making practices related to empiric antibiotic treatment when presented with symptoms that may be related to TB, t…
Prescribing practices for presumptive TB among private general practitioners in South Africa
