The detection of airborne transmission of tuberculosis from HIV-infected patients, using an in vivo air sampling model [PDF]

, 2007
Background. Nosocomial transmission of tuberculosis remains an important public health problem. We created an in vivo air sampling model to study airborne transmission of tuberculosis from patients coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and ...
