Article Synopsis
- - Tuberculosis (TB) is a major global health issue, especially for people living with HIV, who face high rates of TB-related illness and death, and survivors may experience post-TB lung disease.
- - The TB Sentinel Research Network (TB-SRN) is set to conduct a study involving 2600 individuals aged 15 and older, both with and without HIV, to evaluate TB treatment outcomes across 16 sites in 11 countries, collecting extensive health-related data over 12 months.
- - The study has received ethical approval, ensuring participant safety and informed consent procedures, and aims to share its findings with national TB programs to shape future TB policies and practices globally.
