Discussion Brief
Most institutional guidelines on TB transmission control focus on the known or suspected TB case already on therapy, but it has long been known that the greater risk in hospitals is from unsuspected, untreated case. […] Administrative controls are often said to be the least expensive and most effective interventions. (Nardell E., Dharmadhikari A. 2010)
