“Global data shows an increase in TB preventive therapy (TPT), particularly for people living with HIV and household contacts over 5 years old. But implementation remains below desired levels. There is a significant gap in the cascade of care, with many eligible household contacts not receiving screening or starting preventive therapy. RePORT International may help solve this concern through evaluating TPT implementation rates across study sites and validating risk biomarkers or TB progression representing a variety of vulnerable persons from diverse settings and circumstances.” - Amita Gupta

The Annual Meeting for continues with more important learnings from experts! Thank you so much to all the panels who were able to join.

“The contribution of asymptomatic TB to the community transmission has been difficult to establish. RePORT International is in an opportune place to collect better data on the importance of cough, sputum bacterial load, and transition rates for clinical status and bacterial load. Such factors are key to inform policy choices for TB screening.” - Frank Cobelens

Special thanks to Dr. Cobelens for his panel on “Early” and “Long” TB Through and Epidemiologist’s Lens.

The WHO 2025 policy brief on integrated and lung health calls for a syndromic, people-centred approach that reflects the overlapping epidemiology and clinical presentation of respiratory conditions. In response, WHO has issued a call for case studies and best practices: Implementing an integrated approach to and lung health.

The World Health Organization (WHO) Global Programme on Tuberculosis & Lung Health is seeking examples of case studies and promising practices that illustrate how integrated approaches to tuberculosis (TB) and lung health have been applied in different country contexts. The call aims to capture effo...

History has shown that vulnerable persons have been taken advantage of in the name of science. However, this has resulted in almost excluding such people from important research. Should incarcerated persons be included in TB vaccine trials, as this is a group that can benefit from a long-awaited effective TB vaccine?

People deprived of liberty are among the populations experiencing the highest rates of tuberculosis. Prisons typically create ideal conditions for Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission, including overcrowding and prolonged exposure in poorly ventilated environments, and often have populations at h...
