International Journal of Infectious Diseases Socio-political prescriptions for latent tuberculosis infection are required to prevent reactivation of tuberculosis Anna K. Coussens International Journal of Infectious Diseases Volume 58, Pages 115-116 (May 2017) DOI: 10.1016/j.ijid.2017.01.033 Copyright © 2017 The Authors Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Levels of biopsychosocial and political therapies required for LTBI management. By focusing solely on the pharmacological treatment of LTBI, healthcare workers who treat TB are inadvertently accepting as given the conditions that foster reactivation, conditions that no clinician with an interest in global health should accept. Clinicians and and scientists have a strong role to play as advocates and in the writing of socio-political prescriptions that are required to dramatically reduce the incidence of TB globally.
