The third Russian edition of the International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease was published online in May. Articles were selected by an editorial committee based on their interest and relevance for Russian-speaking specialists.  The main theme is anti-tuberculosis drug resistance, featuring translations of State of the Art and Original articles on drug resistance, in addition to locally conducted research, published in the IJTLD in the last two years.

Editorial committee members were Malgosia Grzemska, Wieslaw Jakubowiak, Richard Zaleskis, Dmitry Pashkevitch and Gombogaram Tsogt. Translation was provided by Georgiy Pignastiy with funding from Kfw Banking Group.

All three Russian issues of the IJTLD may be found here:
