Brief summary: This is a long-term cohort study of tuberculosis (TB) patients. This database will capture diagnosis of TB, treatment and long-term follow-up information of the TB patients including clinical outcome and TB outcome. Information obtained from this study will help us improve patient care. There are 4 sites in Thailand. We are trying to develop the TB network and look at long-term data of TB (i.e., TB in special population such as those with chronic kidney disease, diabetes, etc).
