Quantifying Within-Household Tuberculosis Transmission: A Systematic Review and a Prospective Cohort Study

2025-03-17

Abstract excerpt

Household-based studies are widely used to assess tuberculosis (TB) transmission and evaluate preventive strategies. These studies typically assume that household contacts (HHCs) who develop TB are infected by their index patient, but community-acquired infections may introduce misclassification, potentially biasing results. We aimed to quantify the extent of within-household TB transmission using genetic linkage...
