We have recently launched the IJTLD Clinical Standards in Lung Health for optimal management of patients.
Thanks to the support of the Oskar-Helene-Heim Foundation and the Günther Labes Foundation, the first four Clinical Standards will be Open Access and freely available to our global audience of clinicians for patient care. There will also be an Introduction to the IJTLD Clinical Standards on PTLD and LTBI at the 52nd Union World Conference on Lung Health on Wednesday 20th October from 16:00–17:00 (CET).
The first of the series, Clinical Standards for the assessment, management and rehabilitation of post-TB lung disease has been published in the October issue of IJTLD and is free to read here with an accompanying free Editorial.
The latest peer-reviewed articles on TB and HIV; respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD; and the hazards of tobacco and air pollution. Recent coverage has expended to include COVID-19 and the interplay between TB-COVID-19 and other co-morbidities.

The IJTLD welcomes submissions on COVID-19 and we fast-track articles on topical issues, including the potential impact on TB services and articles that improve our understanding of the role that other risk factors – including diabetes, obesity, smoking, air quality, asthma and COPD – have on the impact of COVID-19.
IJTLD Fast-Track Articles
In order to share scientific research of immediate concern as rapidly as possible, The Union is fast-tracking the publication of certain accepted articles from the IJTLD and publishing them in full on our website, prior to their publication in the Journal. Read fast-track articles:
Air conditioners, airborne infection prevention and air pollution in buildings in New Delhi
COVID-19 and poor air quality is leading to increased use of mechanical ventilation, but the authors of this article question how effective these systems are in important buildings in India. The preprint is free to read.
Evaluation of screening international travellers for COVID-19
The authors have monitored post-arrival screening for COVID-19 to evaluate its effectiveness. The preprint is free to read.
Opportunities to prevent and manage undernutrition to amplify efforts to end TB
High rates of undernutrition are a key driver of the TB epidemic. In this mini review (to be published in the January issue of IJTLD) the authors highlight the need to do more to address undernutrition and its importance for public health. The preprint is free to read.
Other versions of the journal
The IJTLD has been published in several languages, and publishes the Union World Conference abstract book each year.
