Using routinely reported tuberculosis genotyping and surveillance data to predict tuberculosis outbreaks.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Abstract excerpt

We combined routinely reported tuberculosis (TB) patient characteristics with genotyping data and measures of geospatial concentration to predict which small clusters (i.e., consisting of only 3 TB patients) in the United States were most likely to become outbreaks of at least 6 TB cases. Of 146 clusters analyzed, 16 (11.0%) grew into outbreaks. Clusters most likely to become outbreaks were those in which at...
