Tuberculosis case finding: Supplement intensified case finding among acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI) hospitalized patients in Sa Kaeo province, Thailand.

CONCLUSION: Supplementary-ICF among ALRI hospitalizations would be expected to result in improved active TB case detection compared to the current policy of PIP. The supplementary-ICF also enhanced early case detection and showed lower prevalence of secondary infection. PMID: 30638734 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
