Abstract

Although much attention is given to diagnosis and treatment for TB, recent evidence highlights the suffering that occurs after patients are 'cured'. This issue of IJTLD Open includes two studies that improve our understanding of the long-term impact of TB. First, a study in Kenya, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe evaluated the feasibility of assessing and referring TB patients for comorbidities, risk factors and disabilities within national TB programmes. Second, a study of patients who successfully completed TB treatment in China sheds light on the long-term sequelae of TB. The combined findings reinforce the need to integrate care strategies into TB programmes to address these health challenges.

超越治愈结核病:直面结核后肺病的隐性负担。
虽然对结核病的诊断和治疗给予了很大的关注,但最近的证据突出了患者“治愈”后所发生的痛苦。本期IJTLD Open包括两项研究,它们提高了我们对结核病长期影响的认识。首先,在肯尼亚、乌干达、赞比亚和津巴布韦进行的一项研究评估了在国家结核病规划中对结核病患者的合并症、风险因素和残疾进行评估和转诊的可行性。其次,一项针对中国成功完成结核病治疗的患者的研究揭示了结核病的长期后遗症。综合研究结果加强了将护理战略纳入结核病规划以应对这些卫生挑战的必要性。
