Brief Summary
The development of efficacious, safe, and shorter treatment regimens could significantly improve TB management and treatment success rates. This prospective, 3-year, single arm study is to evaluate th...
Detailed Description
Shorter regimens have the potential to impact on TB control by reducing TB incidence and mortality, and improve outcomes by increasing patient adherence to treatments and decreasing duration to cure, ...
