@MTBCMelbourne Together to end tuberculosis. Evelyn Huang, Alva Juan, David Romero and Jemma Taylor extend the discussion at today's MTBC event.

@MTBCMelbourne On reversion, the Victorian Tuberculosis Program Director invites curiosity and responsible care based on the person in front of you.

[Krista @KWatts74]

@MTBCMelbourne bringing together early and mid career researchers exploring TB public health response, treatment and recovery. Critical discussions to eliminate TB.

[Krista @KWatts74]

@MTBCMelbourne TB reversion is well documented. Katie and colleagues invite clinicians to consider age, degree of immunoreactivity, CXR status, and time from presumed exposure and re-exposure in TB disease risk and reversion.

[Krista @KWatts74]

@MTBCMelbourne How can non-sputum based biomakers inform TB treatment efficacy?

@syctong @JonathanRyderMD @DrToddLee @nick_coatsworth @syctong. How many will fill the prescription because the medical expert prescribed it leaving patients with the burden???

[Krista @KWatts74]

@carlton fan Thank you the amazing fellow fan in row J at Roos v Blues round 3. I accompanied my child to their first AFL game. This amazing experience was enhanced when our party was invited to use an unoccupied sit with another group so that I no longer needed to share. #kind

Recognising the unique relationship between the human host and TB infection invites a shift from TB outcomes to care and well-being for people and communities. #YesWeCanEndTB

[Anna Coussens @AnnaCoussens]

Fantastic thread describing our ICE-TB framework designed to enable research that will, in time, improve tuberculosis clinical care and elimination policies #YesWeCanEndTB #WorldTBDay @hanifesmail_tb @Rein_Houben @WEHI_research @CIDRI_Africa @LSHTM_TB @UCTIDM

[We Are TB @We_Are_TB]

Members of #WeAreTB are presenting at events for #WorldTBday around the country! We love talking to healthcare providers, researchers and students about what TB treatment is like and how we can make it better. Thank you to everyone who has given us the opportunity! #TBfreeUSA

[Krista @KWatts74]

An invitation to consider recovery by extending the idea of 'successful treatment outcomes' recognises the physical, community capital, and emotional costs associated with TB that can be experienced. End TB - choose compassion and kindness partnering with those affected.

[Doherty Institute @TheDohertyInst]

An insightful closing panel discussion on use of WGS to identify drug-resistant TB and determining appropriate treatment, jurisdictional data sharing, research informing design of diagnostics outside current biomarker limitations and TB care funding impacts on lived experience.

[Kate O'Brien @tubercuLOLsis]

PLEASE help me amplify this! Jackie and Karen are doing amazing work and helping so many people!

[Krista @KWatts74]

I look forward to exploring how we can eliminate TB.
