Molecular and Geographic Patterns of Tuberculosis Transmission After 15 Years of Directly Observed Therapy

18 Nov 1998

Abstract excerpt

CONTEXT: Recent studies suggest that one third of tuberculosis cases in urban areas result from recent transmission. Improved tuberculosis control measures such as uniform implementation of directly observed therapy might reduce the proportion of cases resulting from recent transmission. OBJECTIVE: To determine patterns of tuberculosis transmission in Baltimore, Md, after 15 years of community-based directly...
