The Medical journal of Australia - 4 Feb 2008

Dobler Claudia C, Marks Guy B, Simpson Sheila E, Crawford A B Hamish

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the incidence of recurrence of culture-positive tuberculosis (TB) and the relative contributions of reinfection and reactivation (based on DNA fingerprinting). DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Retrospective analysis of all culture-positive TB notifications between 1994 and 2006 from Liverpool Chest Clinic in the south-west of Sydney. Patients with more than one notification of...
