ABOUT THE TB DICTIONARY
The dynamic nature of vocabulary and lexicology creates a need to harmonize and streamline the terminology associated with TB. Driven by this motivation, a diverse group of TB experts collaborated to establish the first edition of the Global TB Dictionary.
This dictionary aims to serve as a reference for people interested in TB, including those engaged in TB control and research, and those directly affected by this condition.
EDITORIAL TEAM
The TB dictionary was developed a diverse group of independent researchers, public health officers, and TB survivors with different backgrounds, expertise, and geographic origins. This group of 17 TB experts formed the editorial team, and met frequently to develop consensus for the terms and definitions included in the TB dictionary.
