Prioritizing tuberculosis clusters by genotype for public health action, Washington, USA.

Emerging infectious diseases - 1 Mar 2013

Lindquist Scott, Allen Sheanne, Field Kim, Ghosh Smita, Haddad Maryam B, Narita Masahiro, Oren Eyal

Abstract excerpt

Groups of tuberculosis cases with indistinguishable Mycobacterium tuberculosis genotypes (clusters) might represent recent transmission. We compared geospatial concentration of genotype clusters with independent priority rankings determined by local public health officials; findings were highly correlated. Routine use of geospatial statistics could help health departments identify recent disease transmission.
