Aims and scope

The International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (IJTLD) is owned and published by The Union. The IJTLD's main aim is the continuing education of physicians and other health personnel, and the dissemination of the most up-to-date information in the field of tuberculosis and respiratory diseases. It publishes original articles and commissioned reviews not only on the clinical and biological aspects of pneumology, but also - and more importantly - on community aspects. With its emphasis on lung health in developing countries, the IJTLD encourages submissions that incorporate a) fundamental research, b) the elaboration, implementation and assessment of field projects and c) action programmes for tuberculosis control and the promotion of lung health.

The IJTLD welcomes articles on all aspects of lung health, including public health related issues such as training programmes, cost-benefit analysis, legislation, epidemiology, intervention studies and health systems research.
