[Interpretation of the World Health Organization consolidated guidelines on tuberculosis Module 4: treatment and care
Abstract:
The World Health Organization (WHO) published the "WHO Consolidated Guidelines on Tuberculosis, Module 4: Treatment and Care" (hereinafter referred to as the 2025 Guidelines Module 4) on April 15, 2025. This guideline primarily presents updates and recommendations based on high-quality evidence-based medical basis across three key aspects: drug-susceptible tuberculosis (DS-TB), drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB), and treatment and care. This article offers an interpretation of the guideline from the perspectives of its recommendations, evidence-based medical basis, core updated content, and clinical applicability. Furthermore, it explores the feasibility and potential challenges of implementing these recommendations in China, taking into account the current status of tuberculosis prevention and control measures in the country.

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.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis II
Here is a detailed explanation of its pathophysiology:
Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...
Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...
