A key metric in tuberculosis epidemiology is the annual risk of infection (ARI), which is usually derived from tuberculin skin test (TST) and interferon-γ release assay (IGRA) prevalence surveys carried out in children. Derivation of the ARI assumes that immunoreactivity is persi…

Abstract Background Silicosis is a known risk factor for the development of tuberculosis (TB) disease, occurring commonly among miners. “Silico-tuberculosis” (silico-TB) describes individuals affected by both silicosis and TB. Here we characterize an outbreak of silico-TB among s…
