The risk of tuberculosis (TB) is significantly increased among solid organ transplant (SOT) patients, and particularly among lung recipients.1,2 Posttransplant TB rates ranges from 0.05% to 13.27%3 and are strongly influenced by the disease prevalence in the local population. In …

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that is caused by bacteria (bugs). The infection is passed on when a patient with active lung TB coughs bugs into the air, which are then breathed in by an uninfected person. In 90% of people who get infected, the TB infection remains do…

Background TB outbreaks in educational institutions can result in significant transmission and pose a considerable threat to TB control. Investigation using traditional microbiological and epidemiological tools can lead to imprecise screening strategies due to difficulties charac…
