Management of childhood and adolescent latent tuberculous infection (LTBI) in Germany, Austria and Switzerland

PLOS ONE, 2021
Background Majority of active tuberculosis (TB) cases in children in low-incidence countries are due to rapid progression of infection (latent TB infection (LTBI)) to disease. We aimed to assess common practice for managing paediatric LTBI in Austria, Germany and Switzerland prior to the publication of the first joint national guideline for paediatric

Co‐Occurring Risk Factors for Tuberculosis Preventive Treatment Non‐Adherence Among People Living With HIV in Ethiopia: A Latent Class Analysis

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Non‐adherence to tuberculosis preventive treatment (TPT) among people living with HIV (PLHIV) is a critical issue in Ethiopia and other Sub‐Saharan African countries, where both TB and HIV burdens are high. To reduce TPT non‐adherence among PLHIV, it is crucial to identify those at risk and implement targeted interventions. Therefore,
