Article Synopsis
- - The long-term effects of tuberculosis (TB), particularly post-tuberculosis lung disease (PTLD), are a major global health issue, affecting over half of patients after TB treatment, yet it's largely ignored in policies.
- - There is a critical need for clear guidelines on diagnosing and managing PTLD, which should include mandatory screening for all individuals finishing TB therapy and ensuring they have access to necessary chronic care resources.
- - Major funding organizations like The Global Fund are encouraged to incorporate PTLD into their strategies to improve care, emphasizing the importance of addressing long-term complications of TB beyond just the initial treatment.
