Epidemiology and clinical characteristics of childhood TB identified using active and passive case finding

The International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, 2021
BACKGROUND: Childhood TB cases can be found using passive case finding (PCF), i.e., by diagnosing children presenting with symptoms, or using active case finding (ACF), i.e., by identifying children with TB through contact tracing. Our study determined epidemiologic, clinical, and radiographic differences between these groups.DESIGN/METHODS ...

Treatment outcome of tuberculosis patients detected using accelerated vs. passive case finding in Myanmar

The International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, 2018
Several projects involving accelerated or active case finding (ACF) of tuberculosis (TB) cases are being implemented in Myanmar. However, there is a concern that patients detected using ACF have poorer TB treatment outcomes than those detected using passive case finding (PCF).To assess differences in the demographics, clinical profile and treatment ...

Diagnostic Performance of Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra for Tuberculosis Diagnosis in the Context of Passive and Active Case Finding Strategies in Rural Mozambique

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021
Background: Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra (Ultra) is a novel molecular assay which is replacing Xpert MTB/RIF (Xpert) as a front-line test for tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis. We conducted a field evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy of Ultra using two cohorts of participants (from passive and active case finding interventions) in a high TB/HIV burden area in ...

Infectiousness of tuberculosis patients identified through spot sputum screening compared to patients identified through passive case finding-comparing sputum smear microscopy results

10.2 Tuberculosis, 2015
Introduction: A goal of systematic screening for tuberculosis (TB) is to reduce transmission. If sputum smear microscopy is negative the patient is considered less infectious and if three repetitive sputum samples are smear-negative the patient is not considered infectious.

Extent of pulmonary tuberculosis in patients diagnosed by active compared to passive case finding.

The international journal of tuberculosis and lung disease : the official journal of the International Union against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, 2004
To compare the extent of pulmonary tuberculosis amongst patients detected by screening (active case finding) with that in patients detected by symptoms (passive case finding), and to identify early symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis.In this cross-sectional study, Tuberculosis Control Program records were reviewed for method of detection and extent of ...
