Extract
We read with interest the correspondence from J. Noeske and colleagues on the potential effect of cross-border migration on the multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment programme in Cameroon, elicited by our article on the framework for TB elimination in low TB incidence countries [1]. The manuscript highlights some of the consequences of cross-border migration for caring for people with TB and ending this epidemic, as well as relevant issues on clinical and public health management of MDR-TB in Cameroon.
