Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2014
The global health community has set itself the task of eliminating tuberculosis (TB) as a public health problem by 2050. Although progress has been made in global TB control, the current decline in incidence of 2% yr −1 is far from the rate needed to achieve this. If we are to succeed in this

Treatment of latent tuberculosis infection [PDF]

Therapeutic Advances in Respiratory Disease, 2013
Treatment of latent tuberculosis (TB) infection is an important component of TB control programs in both high- and low-prevalence countries. Clinical trials of treatment of latent TB conducted over several decades have demonstrated that preventive treatment can reduce the risk of developing active TB up to 90%.
