Trade-offs between cost and accuracy in active case finding for tuberculosis: A dynamic modelling analysis.
<h4>Background</h4>Active case finding (ACF) may be valuable in tuberculosis (TB) control, but questions remain about its optimum implementation in different settings. For example, smear microscopy misses up to half of TB cases, yet is cheap and detects the most infectious TB cases. What...
