Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The objectives of this study were to assess the tuberculosis (TB) burden and to provide an insight into the type of circulating M. tuberculosis species in urban slums of Bangladesh. We also aimed to test the feasibility of a larger transmission study in this setting. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted in an urban slum of Dhaka city. The household members were actively screened to assess...
