Please join us to discuss an interesting paper exploring radiological and molecular correlates of TB cure. What does cure mean? Are all bacilli killed? How might the way we define treatment response influence the way we test new drugs and regimens against Mycobacterium tuberculosis?

This month, we will be discussing a paper that attempts to estimate the number of TB cases being managed in the private sector in India.
