Introduction: In 2014 globally 9.6 million people are infected with TB, including 1.2 million people living with HIV. HIV positive patients have a risk of Tuberculosis (TB), infection or latent TB infection (LTBI) about 5-8% per year and the risk of developing active TB 3 times h…

We estimated long-term tuberculosis (TB) trends in the US population and assessed prospects for TB elimination. We used a detailed simulation model allowing for changes in TB transmission, immigration, and other TB risk determinants. Five hypothetical scenarios were evaluated fro…

In the last 30 years, tuberculosis (TB) has re-emerged in industrialised countries as a public health, with a decrease in incidence among the resident population and an increase in the burden of immigrants. Therefore, it becomes a priority to implement an effective TB control tha…

Background Screening for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) among migrant population has become a critical issue for many low tuberculosis (TB) burden countries. Evidence regarding effectiveness of LTBI programs are limited, however, partly because of paucity of national data o…
