Tuberculosis (TB) is among the leading causes of death globally. The disease has a huge burden in Namibia, with a case notification rate of at least 442 per 100,000. To date, Namibia is among the countries with the highest global TB bur...den, despite all efforts to reduce it.

Estas directrices sustituyen a los anteriores documentos de política de la OMS sobre el manejo de la ILTB en las personas con la infección por el VIH, los contactos del hogar de personas con TB y otros grupos de riesgo. Las Directrices unificadas de la OMS sobre la tuberculosis: Tratamiento preven...tivo de la tuberculosis se elaboraron conforme a los requisitos del Comité de Examen de Directrices. El grupo de elaboración de las directrices (GDG, por su sigla en inglés) examinó la calidad de la evidencia más reciente disponible sobre la efectividad y los posibles perjuicios, así como la certeza de la evidencia, los valores y las preferencias, además de cuestiones de equidad, utilización de recursos, aceptabilidad y viabilidad de la aplicación al actualizar o formular nuevas recomendaciones y determinar su fuerza.

ECDC Technical Report
In line with ECDC’s recommendations provided in the ’Risk Assessment of HTLV-1/2 transmission by tissue/cell transplantation’ dated 14 March 2012, this Directive replaces the term ‘incidence’ with ‘prevalence’ in the description of endemic areas of HTLV-1/2 i...nfection. According to the new requirements ‘HTLV-1 antibody testing must be performed for donors living in, or originating from high-prevalence areas or with sexual partners originating from those areas or where the donor’s parents originate from those areas’ and this applies to both donors of non-reproductive tissues and cells and reproductive cells.
ECDC contracted experts from the Institut Pasteur in Paris to systematically review the published evidence on the distribution of HTLV-1 infection prevalence throughout the world and to identify high-prevalence countries and areas.
