CNS tuberculosis: a longitudinal analysis of epidemiological and clinical features.

In a prospective Canadian cohort of 82 764 patients with tuberculosis (TB), the risk of developing central nervous system manifestations of TB (CNS-TB) (1%) was higher among younger, female, Aboriginal and foreign-born persons (P < 0.005), together with an elevated mortality risk (RR 4.23), compared to controls with only pulmonary TB. TB detection was lower in the CNS-TB group (P < 0.005), while the likelihood of being cured was also reduced (P < 0.005). CNS-TB remains a serious complication of TB in the industrialised world.

Stop TB-Halte à la Tuberculose-Canada: engaging industrialised nations in the challenge to meet global targets.

The Stop TB Partnership has engaged the 22 high-burden countries in a drive toward the goal of finding 70% of cases and curing 85% by 2005. Traditional partners, aid agencies and governments of industrialised nations have joined the Partnership, but the broader range of civil society remains outside the discourse, risking disinterest on the part of the donor community. Stop TB-Halte à la Tuberculose-Canada was organised to engage new partners to support the Canadian government's commitment to the goal of reducing poverty and diseases of poverty, including tuberculosis, by 50% by 2010. The successes and challenges are explored, and the possibility raised that having a Stop TB movement in every country will ensure that support is sustained and goals of global tuberculosis control reached.
