Abstract:
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and it represents a persistent public health threat for a number of complex biological and sociological reasons. According to the most recent Global Tuberculosis Report (2019) edited by the World Health Organization (WHO), TB is considered the ninth cause of death worldwide and the leading cause of mortality by a single infectious agent, with the highest rate of infections and death toll rate mostly concentrated in developing and low-income countries.

According to Gul, Fatima, and Shabbir (2013), tuberculosis (TB) is amongst the leading causes of mortality globally, and 98% of these deaths are unfortunately prevalent in developing countries. Similarly, Pakistan is sharing the huge burden of morbidity and mortality by TB despite the preventable nature of disease.

Abstract:
Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) are present in most regions of the world and represent a serious threat to the control of tuberculosis. They usually result from errors somewhere along the chain of management of the disease that favoured the selection of resistant mutants, progressively replacing drug-sensitive strains and transmitted to further patients. The currently recommended strategies for the control of this serious situation is the rapid identification of drug-resistant strains, careful drug management of patients with second-lin

Drug resistance is mostly caused by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the bacterial genome. This observed increase in global incidence of drug resistant tuberculosis (TB) has sparked the search for new anti-TB drugs and the repurposing of drugs that are currently used against other organisms or species of mycobacteria. One such repurposed drug, clofazimine (CFZ), is currently used for the treatment of leprosy, caused by Mycobacterium

Abstract:
Mycobacterium tuberculosis has caused a resurgence in pulmonary disease in both developed and developing countries in recent times, particularly amongst people infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. The disease has assumed epidemic proportions in South Africa and in the Eastern Cape Province in particular. Of further concern is the isolation of increasing numbers of multiply drug resistant strains. Knowledge of the genetic capability of this organism is essential for the successful development of novel antibiotics and vaccines in an attempt to bring the global pandemic under control.

Without objective evidence and careful, model-based evaluation of the evidence, it is likely the risks and benefits of the two alternative strategies (treatment or no treatment) will be inaccurately assessed.

Abstract:
Malaria, HIV and tuberculosis (TB) are significant public health concerns in Mozambique. Malaria was the fourth leading cause of death in the country in 2019, accounting for 42% of deaths among children under 5 years of age (Mugabe et al., 2021; USAID, 2018). Mozambique is among the top eight countries with the highest HIV prevalence; with the second highest mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) rate in the world (Fuente-Soro et al., 2021; Nacarapa et al., 2021). The incidence of TB is rising, with pediatric TB cases almost tripling in recent years (WHO, 2020b; Nguenha et al., 2018; Orlando et a

Abstract:
Malaria, human immune deficiency virus (HIV) and tuberculosis (TB) are leading causes of death and public health threat to millions in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The DRC is the second most malaria affected sub-Saharan African country after Nigeria, with malaria being the leading cause of death in children under 5 years (Lechthaler et al., 2019). The HIV prevalence in the country in the adult population stands at 1%, with extensive variations by region (UNAIDS, 2021c). The DRC is considered a high burden country for TB and HIV infection (Linguissi et al., 2017). This rapid review empha

Abstract:
Adherence to treatment for tuberculosis (TB) is frequently sub-optimal. However, good adherence is important for successful treatment and to minimize the risk of drug resistance. Adherence is also essential for different components of TB prophylaxis. Material incentives for patients to encourage them to take their treatment as prescribed, or to assist them in overcoming financial barriers to treatment, have been suggested as interventions to improve TB treatment adherence.
