Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The initiation of universal genotyping revealed 3 clusters of 19 patients with tuberculosis (TB) in Wisconsin, with no apparent epidemiologic links among most of them. An epidemiologic investigation was conducted to determine whether genotype clustering resulted from recent transmission. METHODS: We conducted additional interviews with patients and reviewed medical records. Places frequented by the...
