Join us for a webinar exploring the latest updates in TB preventive treatment for individuals exposed to drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB). In September 2024, WHO released much-anticipated new guidelines on TB preventive treatment (TPT), featuring a strong recommendation for drug-resistant TPT (DR-TPT): a 6-month daily levofloxacin regimen for individuals exposed to multidrug- and rifampicin-...

Marc Lipman: NTM Standards of Care

มุมมอง 775 หลายเดือนก่อน

A talk by Professor Marc Lipman at a UCL-TB networking meeting on 11 July 2024. Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) infections are becoming more common in the UK. They are often extremely hard to diagnose and to treat, and can be extremely debilitating and are sometimes fatal. The lack of knowledge has led to inconsistent care, and as a first step in addressing that, a Standards of Care document...

Asad Zaidi presents a new framework, published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, seeks to replace the approach of the last half century of defining TB as either active (i.e.causing illness and potentially infectious to others) or latent (being infected with the bacterium that causes TB [M tuberculosis] but feeling well and not infectious to others) - an approach researchers say is limiting pr...

Access to medicines to TB: Rifapentine

มุมมอง 1366 หลายเดือนก่อน

Despite the development of new drugs, and trials to support more effective treatment regimens for tuberculosis, cure cannot be achieved without access to medicines. Drug pricing, access policies and patent issues are often responsible for inequalities in getting access to lifesaving medicines to people that need most. Our previous webinar (th-cam.com/video/ldYiJ9HY2_8/w-d-xo.html) gave an overv...

Tuberculosis is curable, but access to the drugs can be difficult not only because of cost, but also lack of availability, and affects all countries - high, medium and low-level income. This is a recording of the webinar held on 01 March 2024 to present the issues relating to availability (www.ucl.ac.uk/tb/access-drugs-tb-webinar).

Webinar held on Friday 30th June 2023 After decades without new drugs for TB, bedaquiline (BDQ) has changed the TB treatment landscape as the first of a series of new drugs to be licensed for drug-resistant TB. However there is already drug resistance. In this workshop, co-organised by UCL-TB and the Africa Health Research Institute (AHRI), people with different expertises discuss the current s...

How infectious diseases affect vulnerable populations is a major concern within UCL, and we were delighted to host an open seminar by Karen Jacobson of Boston University, who has worked in this field for many years. Her group studies the epidemiology of infectious diseases, with a primary focus on tuberculosis. With local and international partners, they combine epidemiological approaches with ...

Aerosols spread infectious agents such as SARS-CoV-2 and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and the pandemic brought the roles of airflow and ventilation to the forefront. In this talk Lena Ciric investigates both ventilation and the use of partitions in the spread of aerosols.

Antibiotic resistance in TB is caused by changes to the genome sequence of the pathogen M. tuberculosis. In High Income Countries, whole genome sequencing (WGS) is increasingly being used to identify drug resistant strains, as this can be faster than waiting for traditional testing that requires weeks for the bacteria to grow. But can WGS be used to compliment routine diagnosis in resource cons...
