Aerosolization of viable<i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>bacilli by tuberculosis clinic attendees independent of sputum-GeneXpert status

2022-11-17

Abstract excerpt

The potential for bioaerosol release of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb ) during different tuberculosis (TB) disease states is poorly understood. We quantified viable aerosolized Mtb from presumptive TB patients on diagnosis and, thereafter, through six months’ standard chemotherapy. At presentation, TB clinic attendees (n=102) were classified by laboratory, radiological, and clinical features into Group A: Sputu...
