Transmission of tuberculosis in a high incidence urban community in South Africa

1 Apr 2004

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to identify risk factors for ongoing community transmission of tuberculosis (TB) in two densely populated urban communities with a high incidence rate of TB in Cape Town, South Africa. METHODS: Between 1993 and 1998 DNA fingerprints of mycobacterial isolates from TB patients were determined by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Cases whose isolates shared...
