    Abstract Tuberculosis Preventive Therapy (TPT) is widely used in particular among high-risk populations such as close contacts and immunosuppressed people mostly in high-income settings. TPT is widely recommended for high-risk populations including HIV-infected and household contacts globally, but is not widely used. Historical trials on risk groups as well as the general population have documented a marked effect on reductions in incidence of active disease among those treated, as well as on prevalence of latent TB infection (LTBI) in populations where massive roll-out of TPT has previously taken place. This review summarizes the results of large historical trials conducted more than 50 years ago among Inuit and African populations as well as risk groups in the USA and Europe exhibiting similarities with current high-burden populations with current limited use of TPT. The trials demonstrated a 27-95% reduction in incidence of active TB among those receiving preventive treatment compared with placebo, with efficacy depending somewhat on length of treatment but mostly on adherence rates. It was possible to achieve satisfactory adherence rates in most of the trial populations and liver toxicity rates were generally low. The historical trials on preventive treatment for LTBI have documented that large-scale TPT is possible and effective even in high-burden populations in high-incidence areas and is therefore a relevant tool to consider in striving to eliminate the TB epidemic.

    Abstract Urogenital tuberculosis (UGTB) should in general be treated as pulmonary TB with a four-drug regimen of Isoniazid, Rifampicin, Ethambutol and Pyrazinamide for a total of 6 months, Ethambutol and Pyrazinamide only the first two months. Some patients may need longer treatment (cavitary disease, kidney abscess/malfunction, HIV co-infection). Treatment of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) requires use of long-term intravenous treatment with aminoglycosides and other drugs with considerable toxicity for 18-24 months. Complications such as urinary tract obstruction may occur and should be treated with corticosteroids or surgery.

    Abstract Objectives: Disease progression, loss to follow-up, and mortality of HIV-2 compared with HIV-1 in children is not well understood. This is the first nationwide study reporting outcomes in children with the two HIV types in Guinea-Bissau.
    Study design: Nationwide retrospective follow-up study.
    Methods: This is a retrospective follow-up study among HIV-infected children <15 years at nine ART centers from 2006 to 2021. Baseline parameters and disease outcomes for children with HIV-2 and HIV-1 were compared.
    Results: The annual number of children diagnosed with HIV peaked in 2017. HIV-2 (n = 64) and HIV-1 (n = 1945) infected children were different concerning baseline median age (6.5 vs 3.1 years, P < 0.01), but had similar levels of severe immunodeficiency (P = 0.58) and severe anemia (P = 0.26). Within the first year of follow-up, 36.3% were lost, 5.9% died, 2.7% had transferred clinic, and 55.2% remained for follow-up. Mortality (HR = 1.05 95% CI: 0.53-2.08 for HIV-2) and attrition (HR = 0.86 95% CI: 0.62-1.19 for HIV-2) rates were similar for HIV types.
    Conclusions: The decline in children diagnosed per year since 2017 is possibly due to lower HIV prevalence, lack of HIV tests, and the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic. Children with HIV-2 were twice as old as HIV-1 infected when diagnosed, which suggests a slower disease progression. However, once they develop immunosuppression mortality is similar.
