Estimating the contribution of transmission in primary healthcare clinics to community-wide TB disease incidence, and the impact of infection prevention and control interventions, in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

2021-08-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> There is a high risk of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb ) transmission in healthcare facilities in high burden settings. Recent World Health Organization guidelines on tuberculosis infection prevention and control (IPC) recommend a range of measures to reduce transmission in healthcare and institutional settings. These were evaluated primarily based on evidence for their effects on transmissio...
