| description | Conclusion: This study revealed a high point prevalence of undiagnosed PTB among incarcerated individuals. This mightily highlights that prisons are explicitly taken as a risky place for the transmission of PTB. Routine TB screening during prison entrance and periodical active case finding are highly recommended to identify missing people with TB who have a high spreading. After diagnosis, early treatment must be implemented to limit further transmission to incarcerated individuals and the surrounding community. |
