Reaching the targets for tuberculosis control: the impact of HIV/Incidence du VIH/sida sur la realisation des objectifs de la lutte antituberculeuse/Logro de las metas de control de la tuberculosis: impacto del VIH

In 1991, the 44th World Health Assembly set two key targets for global tuberculosis (TB) control to be reached by 2000: 70% case detection of acid-fast bacilli smear-positive TB patients under the DOTS strategy recommended byWHO and 85% treatment success of those detected. This paper describes how T...

Zusammenfassung:In 1991, the 44th World Health Assembly set two key targets for global tuberculosis (TB) control to be reached by 2000: 70% case detection of acid-fast bacilli smear-positive TB patients under the DOTS strategy recommended byWHO and 85% treatment success of those detected. This paper describes how TB control was scaled up to achieve these targets; it also considers the barriers encountered in reaching the targets, with a particular focus on how HIV infection affects TB control.
