TL;DR: To develop a new evidence‐based, pharmacologic treatment guideline for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a large number of patients with RA are referred to a single clinic for treatment with these medications.

TL;DR: To maximize the positive predictive value of existing tests, LTBI screening should be reserved for those who are at sufficiently high risk of progressing to disease and basic research is necessary to identify highly predictive biomarkers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Therapeutic drug monitoring in the treatment of tuberculosis: an update
TL;DR: Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) remains a standard clinical technique for using plasma drug concentrations to determine dose, and under ‘real–life’ circumstances is the best available tool for sorting out these multi-drug interactions, and for providing the patient safe and adequate doses.

TL;DR: The data suggest that in HIV-infected persons tuberculosis most often results from the reactivation of latent tuberculous infection; these results lend support to recommendations for the aggressive use of chemoprophylaxis against tuberculosis in patients with HIV infection and a positive PPD test.
Journal ArticleDOI
The tuberculin skin test.
TL;DR: By the early 1930s tuberculin skin testing had become a method for screening apparently healthy persons for infection with M. tuberculosis and evidence accumulated that not all reactions to purified protein derivative were positive.

Global Surveillance for Antituberculosis-Drug Resistance, 1994–1997

TL;DR: Resistance to antituberculosis drugs was found in all 35 countries and regions surveyed, suggesting that it is a global problem.
Journal ArticleDOI
The prognosis of a positive tuberculin reaction in childhood and adolescence
TL;DR: Because the risk of tuberculosis among infected persons appears to persist for a lifetime, the need for preventive treatment is highly dependent on age, and to a considerable but lesser extent on degree of tuberculin sensitivity.
