March 24th, the tuberculosis (TB) day, is the global call to raise awareness,
celebrate successes and remind the world that TB is still the N°1 killer among
the infectious causes of death [1]. TB is preventable and curable disease, and
its control is a highly cost-effective health intervention. However, diagnostic
delay and inadequate treatment contribute to the severity and mortality of the
disease as well as the risk of transmission and development of drug resistance.
Despite the fact that TB disproportionately impacts low- and middle- income
countries, it does not spare any country in the world including those in the
European Union/European Economic Area where more than 4000 of people still die
for the disease every year [2]. Moreover, the high number of multidrug-resistant
(MDR)-TB cases in some countries of the World Health Organization (WHO) European
Region poses a growing public health threat. Despite the sheer numbers, TB has
for too long been overshadowed by HIV and malaria, and currently by the novel
coronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)
responsible for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic.
