Abstract:

Addressing comorbidities and associated risk factors in patients with tuberculosis is crucial for eradicating the disease. In 2023, the World Health Organization released the second edition of Evidence and research gaps identified during development of policy guidelines for tuberculosis, which highlights the principal research gaps in tuberculosis-related comorbidities, notably in Mycobacterium tuberculosis/HIV co-infection, nutritional support and care, and among populations of injecting drug users. In this article, the author interprets these identified research gaps and summarizes China’s current research advancements in these areas, providing insights for professionals engaged in related fields.
