BMC Global and Public Health has launched a collection on identifying people with tuberculosis, guest-edited by rachaelburke and CFMcQuaid For further details visit: Submit your important work here:
Despite ongoing efforts, tuberculosis remains the second leading cause of death from infectious diseases and caused 1.6 million deaths in 2021. Of the 10.6 million people estimated to have developed TB in 2021, only 6.4 million of them started treatment and were notified to National TB Programmes - with this treatment gap made even worse by the impact of COVID-19 on TB diagnosis, treatment and care.
● Modeling the impact of screening and other strategies to identify people with TB on TB epidemiology ● Values and preferences of people accessing TB testing or screeningWe encourage work from local, regional and global partnerships and collaboration among scientists from multi-disciplinary fields.

Socioeconomic differences in COVID-19 infection, hospitalisation and mortality in urban areas in a region in the South of Europe - BMC Public HealthBackground To analyse differences in confirmed cases, hospitalisations and deaths due to COVID-19 related to census section socioeconomic variables. Methods Ecological study in the 12 largest municipalities in Andalusia (Spain) during the first three epidemic waves of the COVID-19 (02/26/20—03/31/21), covering 2,246 census sections (unit of analysis) and 3,027,000 inhabitants. Incidence was calculated, standardised by age and sex, for infection, hospitalisation and deaths based on average gross income per household (AGI) for the census tracts in each urban area. Association studied using a Poisson Bayesian regression model with random effects for spatial smoothing. Results There were 140,743 cases of COVID-19, of which 12,585 were hospitalised and 2,255 died. 95.2% of cases were attributed to the second and third waves, which were jointly analysed. We observed a protective effect of income for infection in 3/12 cities. Almeria had the largest protective effect (smoothed relative risk (SRR) = 0.84 (0.75–0.94 CI 95%). This relationship reappeared with greater magnitude in 10/12 cities for hospitalisation, lowest risk in Algeciras SRR = 0.41 (0.29–0.56). The pattern was repeated for deaths in all urban areas and reached statistical significance in 8 cities. Lowest risk in Dos Hermanas SRR = 0.35 (0.15–0.81). Conclusions Income inequalities by geographical area were found in the incidence of COVID-19. The strengths of the association increased when analysing the severe outcomes of hospitalisations and, above all, deaths.
