Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Youth aged 15-24 years are significantly impacted by tuberculosis globally. Their expanding social networks heighten exposure risks, potentially amplifying tuberculosis transmission, but their role in within-household transmission remains poorly understood. METHODS: A household contact cohort study in Lima, Peru (2009-2012) enrolled individuals (>15 years) with incident tuberculosis (index patients)...
