Transmissibility and control of tuberculosis in school outbreaks: a modeling study based on four outbreaks in China
This study suggests that high schools and universities may represent significant high-risk environments for TB outbreaks. Early detection and isolation of cases are important strategies that can help reduce the risk of TB outbreaks, with observed case reductions of up to 99.47% when implemented promptly.
