Tuberculosis cluster in an immigrant community: case identification issues and a transcultural perspective.

Tropical medicine & international health : TM & IH - 1 Sept 2009

OBJECTIVES: In a low incidence area for tuberculosis (TB), a computerized database identified an unusually high proportion of patients coming from one single country between 2004 and 2006. To determine whether they constituted a cluster, whether clustering was due to recent transmission, and to understand what undermined the efficacy of the contact tracing procedure, we conducted a retrospective study of all...
