This manual is a Spanish translation of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis: A Survival Guide for Clinicians (3rd ed), 2016 by the Curry International Tuberculosis Center. It contains critical information for clinicians taking care of drug-resistant TB patients.

This set of online materials can be used by instructors in the core public health disciplines (Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Health Policy and Management, Environmental Health Sciences, and Social and Behavioral Sciences). The materials can help provide important and sometimes neglected content on the prevention and control of TB to graduate level public health students.

The TB course is intended as a refresher course for physicians (both public and private) that may be involved in the management and care of patients with TB. The course is developed as a preparation course to the MDR-TB course of WMA and both courses together offer a complete training module on TB. The refresher course will provide basic clinical care information for TB including the latest diagnostics, treatment and information about multidrug-resistant TB.

This tool will assist countries and partners in conducting assessments of national tuberculosis (TB) programs to identify strengths and gaps related to preventing, diagnosing, and treating multidrug-resistant TB. It provides the starting point for planning for new activities to address drug-resistant TB. This tool has also been adopted by the Green Light Committee for baseline evaluation of country status and is useful in preparing GLC applications, Global Fund applications, and national MDR-TB control plans.

This fact sheet provides the latest information on the work USAID is doing to fight TB in Haiti.

This book is the first title in Wiley-Blackwell's new 'Infection Biology Series'. Early chapters focus on immunology and the problems facing vaccination strategies for both diseases.

This book provides guidelines to national TB program managers, policy makers, nongovernmental organizations, and donor agencies on effective management of TB. The guidelines focus on the technical and managerial aspects of treatment.

This tool estimates the risk of active tuberculosis for an individual with a tuberculin skin test reaction of 5+mm, based on his/her clinical profile. It is intended for adults tested with standard tuberculin (5 TU PPDS, or 2 TU RT-23).
