Case Studies in Correctional Tuberculosis: Lessons from the Frontline

This interactive, case-based session brings tuberculosis (TB) management in correctional settings to life by exploring real-world examples of outbreaks and individual patient cases. Participants will analyze scenarios that highlight the complexities of balancing patient care, institutional safety, and public health responsibilities. The session emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration across custody, clinical, and public health domains, while grappling with the ethical and operational challenges unique to correctional environments. Building on knowledge gained from previous sessions on latent and active TB, attendees will reinforce practical strategies for prevention, containment, and patient-centered care.
