TL;DR: A group of respected global health practitioners reflecting on lessons learned from the Ebola outbreak describe some of the major threats to individual and collective human health, as well as the values and recommendations that should be considered to counteract such threats in the future.

TL;DR: The transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis that was described aboard a commercial aircraft involved a highly infectious passenger, a long flight, and close proximity of contacts to the index patient.

TL;DR: Three core interventions have stopped every previous outbreak and can stop this one: exhaustive case and contact finding, effective response to patients and the community, and preventive interventions.

TL;DR: Lower than expected antituberculosis drug C(max) occurred frequently, and low pyrazinamide C( max) was associated with poor treatment outcome, suggesting modifications in treatment regimens that could improve tuberculosis cure rates.

TL;DR: TB was the leading cause of death in this series of HIV-positive adults in Botswana, selected towards those with chest disease; in most, it was widely disseminated.
