Abstract EN
Tuberculosis (TB) is responsible for a high mortality rate (2.5%) worldwide, mainly in developing countries with a high prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
The emergence of multiresistant strains of TB poses an extreme risk for TB outbreaks and highlights the need for global TB control strategies.
Among Western African countries, Côte d’Ivoire (CI) represents a specific example of a country with great potential to prevent TB.
Specifically, CI has a promising healthcare system for monitoring diseases, including vaccination programs.
However, military and political conflict in CI favors the spread of infectious diseases, TB being among the most devastating.
Compilation of the studies identifying common causes of TB would be extremely beneficial for the development of treatment and prevention strategies.
Therefore, the purpose of this comprehensive review is to evaluate the epidemiology of TB in CI, describe the factors involved in pathogenesis, and suggest simple and applicable prevention strategies.
