英文摘要
This year 10 million people will develop tuberculosis (TB) and two million people will die from the disease. WHO have set ambitious targets to END TB by the 2035 but these will not be achieved by current approaches. We propose to test a new strategy, “universal test and treat” for TB infection, in a randomised controlled trial to be conducted in a remote rural province of Vietnam. If successful and scaled up, this new strategy could lead to the elimination of TB as a public health problem.
