Article Synopsis
- The survey aimed to assess the implementation of WHO tuberculosis (TB) preventive treatment guidelines in high-burden countries (HBCs) and identify barriers to scaling up these therapies.
- Results showed incomplete implementation of guidelines in many HBCs, with countries like Angola and India prioritizing active TB treatment over latent TB infection (LTBI) management.
- Key obstacles included product shortages (like PPD), high costs (particularly for IGRA testing), and limited availability of new treatments such as rifapentine.
