Friday, March 23
In commemoration of World TB Day, this conference will address TB prevention and control efforts in New York City to highlight progress in the fight against TB. Topics will include a review of the local epidemiology, taking steps to address TB among the foreign born, new treatment options for latent TB infection, laboratory testing for TB, working with prison populations, and managing TB and co-morbidities. Case studies and question and answer sessions will be included to enhance discussions as well as to share experiences. This conference is open to providers (pulmonary, infectious disease, community health, infection control) and health care workers who manage patients at risk for or diagnosed with TB.
