The role of molecular epidemiology in contact investigations: a US perspective.

The international journal of tuberculosis and lung disease : the official journal of the International Union against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease - 1 Dec 2003

Daley C L, Kawamura L M

Abstract excerpt

Preventing tuberculosis (TB) transmission through treatment of active cases and contact investigation is the highest priority of TB control programs in the United States. The role of contact investigation is becoming increasingly important as the number of TB cases declines nationally. However, the effectiveness of contact investigation has been difficult to assess because, prior to the availability of molecular...
