HomeAlthough frequently diagnosed in hospital, TB is largely managed in the outpatient setting. With the high proportion of people with TB also having advanced age or co-morbidities, however, complex disease is common, and may require management in hospital. People with TB requiring hospitalization should be admitted to institutions with adequate airborne isolation rooms and with providers experienced in TB management (see Chapter 14: Prevention and Control of Tuberculosis Transmission in Healthcare Settings).
