The ERS and WHO will now provide scientifically sound and evidence-based advice, and clinical consultation through the Internet to national consiliums and individual practitioners on the management of MDR-TB and other difficult-to-treat TB cases, including TB/HIV and paediatric cases.
Clinicians and other professionals in TB care and management willing to serve the ERS/WHO Consilium were identified. These TB experts will quickly provide, upon request, a written report in English or Russian. The consultation will be electronic, and performed from the expert’s duty station or home. Upon completion of the consultation, a nominal modest compensation will be provided to the expert for each case managed.
The link to the ERS-WHO E-Consilium Website is: www.tbconsilium.org
The clinician interested in clinical support has to simply create his/her own account, enter the clinical case and then to wait for a rapid e-advice as clinical report (free of charge for him/her), performed by two experts in the field, and then summarized by an Area Coordinator.
