Tuberculosis (TB) resulted in 1.3 million deaths and 8.6 million new cases of active TB worldwide in 2012. Clinical manifestations of TB include fever, night sweats, weight loss, and cough. Latent infection is established by a positive tuberculin skin test or interferon-γ-release assay. Active TB disease is diagnosed by clinical, radiographic, and laboratory findings. Latent infection treatment is recommended in at-risk populations. The standard initial regimen for active disease includes rifampin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol. Health-care providers are encouraged to consult with a TB specialist for assistance in the management of individuals with suspected or confirmed TB.
