| dc.description.abstractEn | Tuberculosis, caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) bacteria, is one of the world's deadliest infectious diseases. Despite being the world's oldest pandemic, tuberculosis is very much a challenge of the modern era. In high-incidence settings, all people are at risk, irrespective of whether they have common vulnerabilities to the disease warranting the current WHO recommendations for community-wide tuberculosis active case finding in these settings. Despite good evidence of effectiveness in reducing tuberculosis transmission, uptake of this strategy has been lacking in the communities that would derive greatest benefit. We consider the various complexities in eliminating tuberculosis from the first principles of the disease, including diagnostic and other challenges that must be navigated under an elimination agenda. We make the case that community-wide tuberculosis active case finding is the best strategy currently available to drive elimination forward in high-incidence settings and that no time should be lost in its implementation. Recognizing that high-incidence communities vary in their epidemiology and spatiosocial characteristics, tuberculosis research and funding must now shift towards radically supporting local implementation and operational research in communities. This "preparing of the ground" for scaling up to community-wide intervention centers the local knowledge and local experience of community epidemiology to optimize implementation practices and accelerate reductions in community-level tuberculosis transmission. | |
