Utility of genotyping of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the contact investigation: a decision analysis.

Tuberculosis (Edinburgh, Scotland) - 1 May 2007

Sintchenko Vitali, Gilbert Gwendolyn L

Abstract excerpt

The objective of this study was to compare the traditional tuberculosis contact-tracing strategy with a two-stage strategy, in low prevalence countries. We compared the utility of contact tracing of pulmonary tuberculosis patients using a single interview (Strategy I) with that of two-stage strategies, namely traditional 'stone-in the pond' contact tracing (strategy II) and a strategy involving second interviews...
