MDR/XDR-TB management of patients and contacts: challenges
                facing the new decade. The 2020 clinical update by the Global
                Tuberculosis Network

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
The continuous flow of new research articles on MDR-TB
                diagnosis, treatment, prevention and rehabilitation requires
                frequent update of existing guidelines. This review is aimed at
                providing clinicians and public health staff with an updated and
                easy-to-consult document arising from consensus of Global
                Tuberculosis Network (GTN) experts. The core published documents
                and guidelines have been reviewed including the recently
                published MDR-TB WHO rapid advice and ATS/CDC/ERS/IDSA
                guidelines. After a rapid review of epidemiology and risk
                factors, the clinical priorities on MDR-TB diagnosis (including
                whole genome sequencing and drug-susceptibility testing
                interpretations) and treatment (treatment design and management,
                TB in children) are discussed. Furthermore, the review
                comprehensively describes the latest information on contact
                tracing and LTBI management in MDR-TB contacts, while providing
                guidance on post-treatment functional evaluation and
                rehabilitation of TB sequelae, infection control and other
                public health priorities.
