Partnerships like #endTB are critical for progress against TB. endTB-Q demonstrates the success of a 9-month all-oral regimen in people w/limited pre-XDR-TB. Stronger regimens may be necessary to cure severe disease . #WorldTBDay @msf.org, @partnersinhealth.bsky.social, IRD, @unitaid.bsky.social
It must've been difficult to write about such a misanthropic topic in a way that really inspires hope, especially in spite of the times but it's really worked on me.
I think I really believe we can end it. If for no other reason than to rid us of the scourge of fainting victorian poets.
No. BCG vaccine has low efficacy in adults and is not indicated for use in lower incidence countries like the US. If traveling to high incidence countries regular screening, testing and LTBI treatment when indicated are all better options.
