Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Household-based studies are commonly used to investigate tuberculosis (TB) transmission and evaluate preventive interventions. These studies typically assume that household contacts (HHCs) who develop TB disease were infected by the identified index patient. However, community-acquired infections may challenge this assumption, potentially biasing findings. Here, we evaluated the proportion of...
