Illicit drug users continue to be a group at high risk for tuberculosis (TB) infection and disease. In this article, we present an updated review on the relationship between TB and drug use, summarizing more than a decade of new research. Drug users, and injection drug users in particular, have driven TB epidemics in a number of countries. The successful identification and treatment of TB among drug users remains an important component of a comprehensive TB strategy, but drug users present a unique set of challenges for TB diagnosis and control. New diagnostic modalities, including interferon-γ release assays (IGRAs), offer potential for improved diagnosis and surveillance among this group, alongside proven treatment strategies which incorporate the use of directly-observed therapy (DOT) with treatment for drug abuse. Special considerations, including co-infection with viral hepatitis and the Rifampin/methadone drug interaction, warrant clinical attention and are also updated here.
