dc.description.abstract | In this issue of the PCRJ, Bishara et al.
1 present a case report about
the treatment of a pregnant woman with tuberculosis (TB). She had
emigrated from a country with a high prevalence of TB to one with
a lower prevalence. This presented a challenge to her physicians who
were faced with identifying and treating close contacts who were
also infected. This Perspective article explores in more depth some of
the questions raised by this case report. It discusses the role of
primary care physicians in low prevalence countries who can
implement evidence-based screening programmes, it discusses
effective strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of TB in countries
with high TB prevalence, and it presents insights from medical
anthropology that can help practitioners overcome the barriers to TB
diagnosis, treatment and screening described in the case report. | en_US |
