Mashup Score: 13Ending tuberculosis: ways forward - 2 month(s) ago
Around 25 000 people die from tuberculosis every week, despite the disease being curable. Progress in reducing tuberculosis morbidity and mortality is hindered by inadequate access to testing and treatment, with at least 40% of those infected remaining undiagnosed. Our 2022 Series, highlighted the huge scale of the problem, exacerbated by COVID-19, and outlined priorities for rapid restoration of tuberculosis services. In a 2023 Editorial, we discussed the need for substantial investment in vaccines and research to improve health-care services in LMICs.

Mashup Score: 33Classification of early tuberculosis states to guide research for improved care and prevention: an international Delphi consensus exercise - 2 month(s) ago
The current active–latent paradigm of tuberculosis largely neglects the documented spectrum of disease. Inconsistency with regard to definitions, terminology, and diagnostic criteria for different tuberculosis states has limited the progress in research and product development that are needed to achieve tuberculosis elimination. We aimed to develop a new framework of classification for tuberculosis that accommodates key disease states but is sufficiently simple to support pragmatic research and implementation.
