Database of All Patients With Microbiologically Proven Mycobacteria Tuberculosis Infection
Database of All Patients With Microbiologically Proven Mycobacteria Tuberculosis Infection
Prospective data collection of all patients with microbiologically proven mycobacteria
 tuberculosis infection treated at Singapore General Hospital.
Tuberculosis currently infects one third of the world's population and is responsible for
 killing approximately 2 million individuals annually. This is a major public health concern
 worldwide, and there has been a huge impetus to implement strategies for better tuberculosis
 control.

 The investigators have established a system to track all patients with microbiologically
 proven tuberculosis treated at Singapore General Hospital, with vigilant recording and
 reporting systems, from the first instance when patients were diagnosed to the time they have
 completed anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy. The investigators endeavour to use this system to
 improve patient care by adopting patient-supportive approaches that lead to high compliance
 rates and best possible outcomes of treatment.
Inclusion Criteria:

 1) All patients with microbiologically proven mycobacteria tuberculosis infection treated
 at the Singapore General Hospital.
