A proposal for applying molecular markers as an aid to identifying potential cases of imported tuberculosis in immigrants.

Tuberculosis (Edinburgh, Scotland) - 1 Nov 2008

Abstract excerpt

In recent years, the percentage of tuberculosis (TB) cases in immigrants in Spain has increased markedly. In this context, discrimination between cases with potentially imported TB and cases likely to have acquired it by recent transmission after arrival is a basic issue. In this study, we evaluated molecular markers to obtain information on the geographic origin of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) strains and to...
