TL;DR: In 2019, TB remained the most common cause of death from a single infectious pathogen globally, and an estimated 10.0 million people developed TB disease in 2019, and there were an estimated 1.2 million TB deaths among HIV-negative people and an additional 208, 000 deaths among people living with HIV as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: This work improves the quality of the evidence available supporting the World Health Organizations (WHO) recommendation that patients be treated using mainly ambulatory care, conditional on infection control measures in the home and clinic, clinical condition of the patient, and availability of treatment support to facilitate adherence to treatment.

TL;DR: The data suggest that there is under-detection and/or -notification of TB, especially among men and elderly, and TB control should be strengthened specifically in these risk groups.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a cross-sectional study of TB and HIV professionals in low and middle-income countries (LMIC) between May 12 and August 6, 2020, collecting qualitative and quantitative data using an online survey in 11 languages.

TL;DR: The study estimated that the proportion of cases notified to the NTP was low, with actual incidence rates being higher than official estimates and TB surveillance should be strengthened to reduce under-reporting.
