First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether having a nurse case manager helps people with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and HIV complete their long treatment. About 3,600 patients in South Africa are involved. Half of the clinics have a nurse case manager to guide care, while the other half follow standard procedures. Researchers will compare treatment success rates between the two groups.
