TB

This video discusses the differences between latent TB infection (LTBI) and TB disease.

WHO has published a global TB report every year since 1997. The main aim of the report is to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the TB epidemic, and of progress in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the disease at global, regional and country levels. This report is updated annually.

An animated video explaining latent TB infection and TB testing. The video encouragers viewers to get tested for TB infection.

This tool was developed to help health workers in the clinical and operational management of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. The tool emphasizes the introduction, implementation and management of the nine-month treatment regimen.

This video illustrates ways to manage TB disease, such as detecting, diagnosing, and treating TB disease.

The guide, based on nursing and drug-resistant TB literature, establishes best practice nursing assessment and intervention guidance. The content was created to act as a reference and job aid for nurses to:
1.Identify symptoms that may indicate a side effect related to DR-TB treatment or antiretroviral medication;
2.Assess for severity as well as other potential contributors; and
3.Intervene appropriately in order to minimize patient discomfort, reduce side effect progression, and ultimately support successful treatment completion.

This 60-minute webinar shares information on the basic concepts and best practices for TB targeted testing. Presenters illustrate the history and future of targeted testing in Texas. Information on the Texas 1115 Medicaid Waiver TB Project – TB Infection Targeted Testing is also presented in this webinar.

This video highlights the continuing problem of tuberculosis (TB) in the United States and encourages people to take action by visiting the CDC TB website and getting tested for TB infection if they are at risk.

This fact sheet provides an overview of treating TB disease in persons infected with HIV/AIDS.

This resource emphasizes the severity of TB and HIV coinfection. The fact sheet includes information on how many people died in 2022 from AIDS-related TB, an estimated number of averted deaths between 2010 and 2022 due to TB treatment and antiretroviral therapy, and more.
