متن کاملTuberculosis infection control in resource-limited settings in the era of expanding HIV care and treatment.
The opportunities for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) care and treatment created by new treatment initiatives promoting universal access are also creating unprecedented opportunities for persons with HIV-associated immunosuppression to be exposed to patients with infectious tuberculosis (TB) within health care facilities, with the attendant risks of acquiring TB infection and developing TB d...
متن کاملTuberculosis diagnostics and biomarkers: needs, challenges, recent advances, and opportunities.
Tuberculosis is unique among the major infectious diseases in that it lacks accurate rapid point-of-care diagnostic tests. Failure to control the spread of tuberculosis is largely due to our inability to detect and treat all infectious cases of pulmonary tuberculosis in a timely fashion, allowing continued Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission within communities. Currently recommended gold-st...
متن کاملThe interface between the national tuberculosis control programme and district hospitals in Cameroon: missed opportunities for strengthening the local health system –a multiple case study
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis remains a major public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa. District hospitals (DHs) play a central role in district-based health systems, and their relation with vertical programmes is very important.
