The Global Burden of TB, latest estimates 2017 Estimated number of cases Estimated number of deaths • 10 million (133 per 100,000) • 6.4 million males • 3.6 million females • 1 million children All forms of TB • 1.6 million* • 1 million in males • 0.6 million in women • 0.23 in children * Including deaths attributed to HIV/TB HIV-associated TB 0.9 million (9%) 300,000 Multidrug-resistant TBMDR/RR-TB 230,000 558,000 Latently infected 1.7 billion Source: WHO Global Report, 2018
TB is in every countryHighest incidence rates in Africa and parts of Asia Source: WHO Global Report, 2018
Estimates of TB disease burden 2000–2017 Peak of the epidemic 10m 1.3m 6.4m 0.3m 0.9 m Falling 1.4% per year (2000-2015). 18% drop between 2000 and 2015 47% decline between 1990 and 2015
Innovations and Research are critical to break the trajectory of the TB epidemic • Better diagnostics, including new point-of care tests; • Safer, easier and shorter treatment regimens; • Safer and more effective treatment for latent TB infection; • Effective pre- and post-exposure vaccines.
EndTB targets will not be achieved…if we only address active TB

MDR-TB e XDR-TB MDR TB = Strains resistant to at least INH and RIF (most important 1st-line drugs) XDR TB = MDR TB strains with additional resistance to any fluoroquinolone and any of the 3 injectable second-line drugs (amikacin, kanamycin, capreomycin)
Drug-resistant TB is in every country it has been measured (report 2018)
MDR-TB treatment (until August 2018) • Longer regimen (20-24 months) i.e. 8 FQ-Am-Cs-Eth-Lzd-Z/12 FQ-Cs-Eth-Lzd-Z • Shorter regimen (9-12 months) 4-6 Km-Mfx-Pto-Cfz-Z-Hhigh-dose-E / 5 Mfx-Cfz-Z-E
