尽管几千年来一直影响着男性、女性和儿童,但结核病是最被忽视的疾病。相比之下,全球对艾滋病毒的反应已经到了一个决定性的时刻。通过联合努力,迅速整合治疗和预防方面的重大科学发现,并扩大服务,曾经不可想象的终结艾滋病毒流行可能不再是幻想。“世界已将战胜艾滋病作为首要任务。这是一种祝福。但结核病仍然被忽视。”——纳尔逊·曼德拉。毫无疑问,革命性的诊断方法以及新的和重新利用的药物为抗击结核病提供了一些希望,但很明显,科学进步本身不足以实现世界卫生组织到2035年消灭结核病的宏伟目标。在这篇文章中,强调了近视和传统生物医学方法对结核病的影响,这种方法最终渗透到个体患者护理水平。
Despite affecting men, women, and children for millennia, tuberculosis (TB) is the most neglected disease. In contrast, the global response to HIV has reached a defining moment. By uniting efforts, promptly integrating major scientific findings for both treatment and prevention, and scaling up services, the once inconceivable end to the HIV epidemic may no longer be an illusion. “The world has made defeating AIDS a top priority. This is a blessing. But TB remains ignored” − Nelson Mandela. While there is no doubt that revolutionary diagnostics and new and repurposed drugs have provided some hope in the fight against TB, it is evident that scientific advances on their own are inadequate to achieve the World Health Organization’s ambitious goal to end TB by 2035. In this article, the consequences of a myopic and conventional biomedical approach to TB, which has ultimately permeated to the level of individual patient care, are highlighted.
