Happy to see our group work out there!

It a good oportunity in this continuous mass-screening efforts to understand better the role of asymptomatic TB in transmission.

“Wow, I saw in the last GTB report undernutrition is much less important for TB than we previously thought” I hear you say…
Well, no. We think this is an underestimate, & as much as 28% of TB could be attributable to undernutrition – see our latest comment here: www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
