Key facts
Tuberculosis has been a scourge of humanity for thousands of years. Today, of all infectious agents except SARS-Cov2, tuberculosis is still the biggest killer, surpassing even HIV and malaria. The global incidence is decreasing, but too slowly to achieve the goal of eventual eradication. This is partly because the disease takes months to develop and at least 6 months of multidrug chemotherapy to cure. In most people the infection becomes latent but can emerge decades later to cause serious illness. Over the past 3 decades, multidrug resistance has become an increasing problem, making TB even harder to cure. This Tuberculosis course offered by the Institut Pasteur will discuss this topics.
Programme Structure
Lectures will cover:- The global epidemiology of TB, including M. africanum.
- Different clinical forms of TB: subclinical, pediatric, HIV co-infections.
