Objectives: Although a “multisite” definition of disseminated tuberculosis (DTB) exists, there is limited evidence to support its use. Herein, we sought to generate that evidence. Methods: We evaluated treatment outcomes and reporting requirement

Subclinical pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is defined as “…a state of disease due to viable Mycobacterium tuberculosis that does not cause TB-related symptoms but does cause other abnormalities that can be detected using existing radiologic and myc

Abstract Subclinical pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is a recently described intermediate state of great interest, but about which little is known. This study sought to describe and compare the frequency of key radiologic features of subclinical PTB on

Summary: Background: Sputum smear microscopy is a common surrogate for tuberculosis infectiousness. Previous estimates that smear-negative patients contribute 13–20% of transmissions and are, on average, 20 to 25% as infectious as smear-positive ca

Introduction All pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) cases are presumed to be infectious to some degree. This spectrum of infectiousness is independently described by both the acid-fast bacilli smear and radiographic findings. Smear-positive patients with c

BackgroundNew immigrants to Canada with a history of tuberculosis or evidence of old healed tuberculosis on chest radiograph are referred to public health authorities for medical surveillance. This ostensible public health protection measure identifi

Our objective was to investigate whether pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) can be predicted from features of a targeted medical history and basic laboratory investigations in immigrants. A retrospective cohort of 391 foreign-born adults referred to the Ed
