What Is the Optimal Community-Based Tuberculosis Screening Algorithm for People Who Inject Drugs in a High-Burden Setting?
We defined an acceptable and moderate cost algorithm that improves efficiency for community-based TB screening among PWID in Vietnam. To reflect real TB prevalence, we make the case that active case finding and systematic screening strategies should not limit testing to those with a positive symptom screen.
