Nutrition recovery syndrome is a real thing that we need to worry for, while treating very undernourished people with tuberculosis: 55% of our patients with tuberculosis have BMI of less than 16 ! these recovery syndromes can kill too.
Can the state be booked for being negligent and allowing the spread of a drug-resistant disease endangering people? read this from JSS in CG: The ethics of compulsory notification of tuberculosis : https://t.co/O33bJ1YOwN
