This material aims to inform national TB Programmes and other stakeholders about the key implications of the latest evidence on the use of specific molecular assays as initial diagnostic tests of pulmonary and extrapulmonary TB and RR-TB, in adults and children.
The resource is intended for primary care providers who care for individuals and populations who may be at risk for infection with M. tuberculosis. The guide includes latent TB infection diagnosis and treatment information, sample documentation forms, and additional resources.
The Global Plan to End TB 2018–2022: The Paradigm Shift includes an estimate of the resources needed to achieve the targets determined at the UN High-Level Meeting (UNHLM) on TB in September 2018.
This resource is a mobile app of the Nursing Guide for Managing Side Effects to Drug-resistant TB Treatment. The guide was created to act as a reference for nurses to: 1.Identify symptoms that may indicate an anti-TB or anti-retroviral medication-related side effect; 2. Assess for severity as well as other potential contributors; and 3. Intervene appropriately to minimize patient discomfort, reduce side effect progression, and ultimately support successful treatment completion.
In this video, viewers are taught what sputum is and the steps to collect a good sample for TB diagnostic purposes. The video can be shown prior to submitting sputum (e.g., spot samples, home visits, morning samples).

The webinar presents information on the common difficulties for TB case management for patients with HIV. The webinar also defines the epidemiologic link between HIV and TB. Additionally, the webinar describes how to incorporate HIV testing and referral to care as part of targeted testing and treatment of latent TB infection.
