Towards ending tuberculosis and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.
Es una enfermedad muy contagiosa que se transmite a través de las gotitas de saliva que viajan por el aire cada vez que alguien enfermo tose, estornuda, escupe, habla o canta. Los microbios hacen agujeros en los pulmones y pueden causar la muerte. También es conocida como TB, «mal de caja», «ma...l del pulmón», «Jojojenka» y «Kemirejenka».

Towards a world free of tuberculosis
The Global Programme on Tuberculosis & Lung Health of the World Health Organization (WHO/GTB) is now combining all current recommendations into one overall set of consolidated guidelines on TB. The guidelines contain recommendations pertaining to all areas related to the programmatic management of T...B (e.g. screening, preventive treatment, diagnostics, patient support, and the treatment of drug-susceptible TB and DR-TB). The consolidated guidelines contain modules specific to each programmatic area.

Undernutrition increases the risk of tuberculosis (TB) and in turn TB can lead to malnutrition. Undernutrition is therefore highly prevalent among people with TB. It has been demonstrated that undernutrition is a risk factor for progression from TB infection to active TB disease and that undernutrit...ion at the time of diagnosis of active TB is a predictor of increased risk of death and TB relapse. However, the evidence concerning the effect of nutritional supplementation on TB prevention and health outcomes among people with TB had not previously been systematically reviewed. This guideline provides guidance on the principles and recommendations for nutritional care and support of patients with TB as part of their regular TB care
