Abstract:

The control of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) globally still faces huge challenges. The PAN-TB regimen is a first-line regimen suitable for all forms of TB, which means that it should be initiated immediately upon confirmation of active TB disease, without waiting for the patient’s drug resistance status. The goal of implementing the PAN-TB regimen is to initiate effective treatment as soon as possible, reduce transmission, and significantly simplify the complexity of TB program management. It is not only a clinical treatment method, but also a public health measure. This article defines the definition, requirements, global research progress, and significance for TB control of the PAN-TB strategy, with the aim of providing new ideas for the prevention and control of TB in China.
