DOI: 10.1002/jia2.25961
Abstract: Dolutegravir is being scaled up globally as part of antiretroviral therapy (ART), but for people with HIV and tuberculosis co‐infection, its use is complicated by a drug–drug interaction with rifampicin requiring an additional daily dose… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.arbres.2018.04.004
Abstract: INTRODUCTION Treatment with biological therapies increases the incidence of tuberculous disease. The introduction of systematic screening for latent tuberculosis infection in patients who are to receive these therapies has reduced this risk. In 2016, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gastrohep.2020.04.006
Abstract: There is evidence that following the recommendations on screening and treatment of tuberculosis infection does not completely prevent the onset of tuberculosis in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. This fact, and the increasing use of… read more here.
