Abstract

One of the newer concepts and current focuses of tuberculosis management is the concept of palliative care for tuberculosis (TB) patients. Target patients for this approach include mainly patients with drug-resistant and advanced forms of tuberculosis but also drug-sensitive tuberculosis in some settings like malignancy and extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. Integral to this approach of palliative care is the concept of managing of comorbidities with tuberculosis. Addressing the various comorbidities associated with tuberculosis taking an integral approach to the management of comorbidities is the need of the hour.
