Prof Grant Theron presented CLIME’s latest innovations in TB diagnostics and infectiousness at @samrcza.bsky.social World TB Day Symposium. New tools for finding infectious cases, detecting drug resistance, and those needing prevention are NB steps toward ending TB. #WorldTBDay #TB #Research
#ICYMI To commemorate #WorldTBDay, last week, Eswatini convened a high‑level TB conference emphasizing coordinated action. A panel moderated by Dr. Debrah Vambe featured TB GAPS’ Mbongeni Dube, who discussed sustainable financing to advance the country’s 2030 TB elimination target. #TBSky
TB interventions like TUTT (Targeted Universal TB Testing) and TPT (TB Preventive Therapy).
We remain committed to making a difference in the fight against TB.
#WorldTBDay #EndTB
New research on pediatric TB shows widening regional disparities and stalled progress toward End TB targets. Children remain underdiagnosed and undertreated, putting global TB elimination goals at risk.

This week, the world marked #WorldTBDay, but here's a number worth sitting with: 88%. That's the treatment success rate for TB when people actually access care. So why did 1.23 million people still die from TB in 2024? (WHO) 🧵

March 24th marked #WorldTBDay. The theme: "Yes! We can end TB." Here's what the WHO Global Tuberculosis Report 2025 says we're up against 🧵
#GlobalHealthOtherwise #AfricaHealth #GlobalHealth
New #IJID editorial: Scientific advances in TB are accelerating, but global impact is not keeping pace. The challenge is no longer innovation—it is implementation.

Near point-of-care tests and digital and AI-powered screening tools offer an opportunity to help close the longstanding #TB diagnostic gap—sustained R&D investment will also be essential to driving continued progress. #WorldTBDay

This #WorldTBDay, Canada showed up🔴
A record 75+ landmarks across the country were lit in red and volunteers, partners, and parliamentarians came together to raise awareness and push for action to end tuberculosis, the world's deadliest infectious disease!
This week, we marked #WorldTBDay. Clinical testing alone can miss cases. Our dPCR assay kits & wastewater testing service provide the sensitive data needed to detect trends early, pinpoint hotspots, & reach underreported communities
Let’s use every tool in our arsenal to #EndTB. @who.int @aphl.org

“Our research has shown that one of the biggest gaps in preventing TB in the U.S. is getting people who are at risk screened and tested. Without this early step in care, we can’t get people who need it on preventative treatment.” - Priya Shete, MD, MPH, #WorldTBDay

Over 3,300 people die from #tuberculosis every day.
New @who.int-recommended diagnostic tools could bring faster, cheaper testing closer to patients and help close critical detection gaps.

If this continues, thousands of deaths in the coming years could still be prevented.
Closing this gap means accelerating efforts - from detection and diagnosis to treatment and follow-up.

In commemoration of #WorldTBDay, we started with a road walk to sensitize the community on TB and the importance of early diagnosis & treatment. 🚶🏽♀️🚶🏾♂️
Then, @lightontb.bsky.social and @zanklic.bsky.social hosted a scientific symposium with the theme:
#EndTB #GenderAndTB #LightConsortium
An emerging generation of digital and AI-powered #TB screening tools is now materializing—including portable ultrasounds and digital stethoscopes—offering renewed opportunities to help close the diagnostic gap for good. #WorldTBDay
