TL;DR: The feasibility, accuracy, and clinical effect of point-of-care Xpert MTB/RIF testing at primary-care health-care facilities in southern Africa, and the primary outcome was tuberculosis-related morbidity in culture-positive patients who had begun anti-tuberculosis treatment.

TL;DR: The 6-month regimen that included weekly administration of high-dose rifapentine and moxifloxacin was as effective as the control regimen and the 4- month regimen was not noninferior to thecontrol regimen.

TL;DR: Wide implementation of active case finding, particularly with a mobile van approach, could have rapid effects on tuberculosis transmission and disease.

TL;DR: Qualitative findings suggested that challenges faced by positive children include verbal abuse, stigma, and discrimination, while data showed that support group attendance is helpful, young people stressed that life outside the confines of the group was more challenging.

TL;DR: Sensitising health workers through specialised training, refining referral systems from sex-worker friendly clinics into the national system, and providing opportunities for SW to collectively organise for improved treatment and rights might help alleviate the barriers to treatment initiation and attention currently faced by SW.
