Abstract:
Several novel antituberculosis agents, including long-acting injectable agents in mouse models, have shown promise in preclinical and early clinical studies. This encouraging news is offset by the failures of a tuberculosis (TB) vaccine to prevent disease recurrence and a 3-month clofazimine-based treatment regimen for drug-susceptible TB. Clinically focused insights regarding TB, mpox, and other HIV-associated infectious complications that were presented at the 2024 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) are summarized in this review.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
