Nice vision by Nicholas Paton for TB treatment in the future.
8 week oral treatment followed by long-acting injectable that could be antimicrobial +/- host-directed.
Definitely a post to come back to in 5-10 years' time!

Recent nice paper @lancetrespirmed.bsky.social looked at this: radiolgical changes (not culture) in asymptomatic contacts predictive of risk of TB disease development. PET-CT best but CXR not bad and feasible. @ucltb.bsky.social

Excellent talk from Hanif Esmail on asymptomatic TB.
Around half of M tuberculosis culture positive patients have no symptoms & probably contributes to transmission.
Who should we offer treatment to?

🚨Publication Alert🚨
Tuberculosis diagnostics have advanced since 2006. As technologies evolve, understanding physiology remains essential to apply these tools to traditional sample collection.

I disagree with the suggestion that 'large clinical trials [do] not work well in complex or highly drug-resistant disease'
I also think personalised medicine will have little role to play in public health management of TB - stratified treatment duration perhaps, but mostly it's a mug's game

In TB treatment trials, we need both ITT and PP estimates, as we use non inferiority designs for the efficacy endpoint
Removing folk with poor adherence from analysis population may be informative censoring
Shouldn't we be weighting our PP estimates, e.g. IPCW?

When I started this PhD, we watched TB funding redirected to COVID. As I prepare to finish, we're witnessing the catastrophic dismantling of USAID and NIH funding.
The constant: Mtb killing 1.3 million people annually.
World TB Day reminds us the work continues, regardless of politics.

Happy to see that our work in TB vaccine acceptability in Brazilian prions is on!
6 male and 2 female prison units at 6 Brazilian cities, >900 individual interviews, with 95.2% of acceptance to a new proposed TB vaccine. However...

New from AHRI in @jem.org AND on the cover!
📸 shows a human TB granuloma in lung tissue. The red, green & yellow cells shown, for example, are all different type of macrophage - immune cells that fight infection by engulfing & killing microbes like Mtb

Played a small part in this cool study @jem.org.
Identifies myofibroblasts as sources of tissue damaging enzymes (MMP1) in TB granuloma, probably responding to cytokine cues from nearby macrophages.
Question now is: can we target therapeutically to prevent post-TB lung damage?
