from The TBPod · host Actnet
Associate Professor Nicolas Alan Menzies, from the School of Global Health and Population at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts, joins Dr Andrew Burke to discuss his research on the contribution of post-TB sequelae to life-years and quality-adjusted life-years lost due to TB disease in the United States. Drawing on data from both U.S. and Brazilian cohorts, he explores how a significant portion of TB’s health burden, including elevated mortality and reduced quality of life, emerges after treatment completion with apparent cure. Together, they discuss the impact of delayed diagnosis, age-related risks, and the need for early detection and long-term care.
