Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis clusters in families may be due to increased household exposure, shared genetic factors, or both. Household contact studies are useful to control exposure because socioeconomic and environmental conditions are similar to all subjects, allowing the evaluation of the contribution of relatedness to disease development. METHODS: In this study, the familial aggregation of tuberculosis using...
