Community household child contact investigation for tuberculosis | Anca Vasiliu

Описание к видео Community household child contact investigation for tuberculosis | Anca Vasiliu

Globally, the uptake of tuberculosis-preventive treatment (TPT) among children with household tuberculosis contact remains low, partly due to the necessity of bringing children to health facilities for investigations. This study aimed to evaluate the effect on TPT initiation and completion of community-based approaches to tuberculosis contact investigations in Cameroon and Uganda.
Community household contact tracing for tuberculosis is effective, feasible, cost-effective, and acceptable. It has the potential to timely identify contacts with tuberculosis and provide preventive treatment to children.
