Using population-based data from rural Vietnam, we assessed tuberculosis (TB) transmission within and outside of households. Eighty-three percent of persons with recent household TB were infected by different strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis than were their household members. This result argues against the effectiveness of active TB case finding among household members.
利用越南农村的基于人群的数据,我们评估了家庭内外的结核病(TB)传播。83%的近期家庭 TB 患者感染的结核分枝杆菌菌株与他们的家庭成员不同。这一结果表明,针对家庭成员的主动 TB 病例发现效果不佳。
