- W1963031773 abstract "Background: Tuberculosis remains a major public health problem in Thailand. The goal of the National TB Program is to find TB cases and ensure high treatment success rates. Household contacts of TB patients have a high risk of developing tuberculosis. Therefore the search for TB in household contacts is a critical component of an active case finding strategy. Objective: To evaluate approaches for screening and diagnosing household contacts of index TB patients in 2011-2012 at Buriram Provincial Hospital Method: After identification of an index case in the TB clinic, the TB nurse interviewed the patients on potential household contacts. A one stop service to screen household contacts of index cases was set up and all person who contacted TB were invited for screening. They were interviewed about any symptoms and examination by chest x-ray (AP, Lateral), in children under 15 years old TB skin test was conducted. Results : Of 283 index cases in 2011, 138 families (48.76%), were screened 464 cases were actively screened and TB was identified in 6 cases (1.29%) who were adults. In 2012, among 359 index TB cases, 84 families were screened (23.39%) with 274 individuals, all of them were actively screened. TB was found in 4 children (1.45%) Conclusion: Active screening of household contacts is feasible at the local level and yields a high proportion of cases. This is an important strategy to improve treatment outcomes by early identification and preventing ongoing transmission in the community. The approach does not require massive investment but only taking an active approach to case finding by health care staff in the TB clinic." @default.
