Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To determine the proportion of recurrent tuberculosis (TB) due to relapse with the patient's initial strain or reinfection with a new strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis 1-2 years after anti-tuberculosis treatment in Uganda, a sub-Saharan TB-endemic country. DESIGN: Records of patients with culture-confirmed TB who completed treatment at an urban Ugandan clinic were reviewed. Restriction fragment...
