Tuberculosis is a public health threat in Cameroon. Health Research was recently recognized by African Ministers of Health as an effective means of accelerating the control of any disease or health issue in Africa. Worldwide, research in the field of tuberculosis control has been promising. In the light of a rapidly changing global research environment it has therefore become timely to review and update the priorities for TB research. In Cameroon, research on TB is active and diversified but not carried out in a prioritized framework. It will therefore be interesting to assess this activity and come out with area poorly covered in order to sensitize researchers and policy makers. We seek to conduct a literature review of all research activities carried out in TB in Cameroon. Our purpose is to categorize these studies per type, site and target population in order to identify areas of weaknesses. Key words: Tuberculosis - Research- Cameroon
