Purpose of review: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health concern worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic and migration flow due to socioeconomic conditions, climate change, and geopolitical issues, such as the war, are important drivers influencing TB epidemiology in Europe. This article aims to review the data about TB in this area and the new findings about treatment and prevention strategies.
Recent findings: During the COVID-19 pandemic, access to health facilities and retention in care were difficult for TB patients, with consequences on TB diagnosis and TB incidence. The ongoing conflict in Europe, in areas with high prevalence of TB and MDR-TB, has reduced the access to health services and the availability of anti-TB drugs and increased the migration of refugees. New data on short treatment regimens could change the length of therapy and adverse events.
Summary: TB control programs are facing emerging challenges that could change TB incidence in the near future. Novel antibiotic strategies and improved preventive policies could offer new opportunities to reduce the TB impact on public health.
期刊介绍：
Current Tropical Medicine Reports provides expert views on recent advances in the field of tropical medicine in a clear and readable form. This journal offers reviews by domestic and international contributors that highlight the most important, recent papers and findings related to this specific field. We accomplish this by appointing renowned leaders in major tropical medicine subject areas to select topics addressing virology, bacteriology, parasitology, entomology, immunology, cell and molecular biology, epidemiology, ecology, behavioral science and clinical medicine for review by experts who assess the latest developments and highlight significant papers published over the last few years on their topics. These review articles also stress recently published papers of importance in the references, which are accompanied by annotations explaining their importance. In addition to these Section Editors, our international Editorial Board ensures our journal upholds its standards.
