Worldwide Effects of Coronavirus Disease Pandemic on Tuberculosis Services, January-April 2020.
| Abstract |
Coronavirus disease has disrupted tuberculosis services globally. Data from 33 centers in 16 countries on 5 continents showed that attendance at tuberculosis centers was lower during the first 4 months of the pandemic in 2020 than for the same period in 2019. Resources are needed to ensure tuberculosis care continuity during the pandemic. |
