Abstract

The meta-analysis investigating the excess mortality after tuberculosis published by Kamila Romanowski and colleagues1 is an important piece of work confirming a long-held belief by health workers in the field; however, death frequently comes only at the end of prolonged periods of suffering and morbidity. We would like to highlight the hidden epidemic of chronic disease, impairment, and social costs after microbiological cure of tuberculosis, as discussed by Sumona Datta and Carlton Evans in the Comment2 accompanying the Article
