Tuberculosis

Some recent papers:

A paper on TB case finding through a village outreach programme, published in the Bulletin of the WHO. This describes a programme where health workers took sputum samples from people who they suspected of having TB. The study took place in southern Ethiopia.

A systematic review of risk factors for multidrug resistant TB in Europe, published in Thorax. The study concludes that one determinant for the spread of multidrug resistant TB is previous, inadequate, treatment. You will need Athens authentication to access the full text of this paper off campus.
