- Title
For Tuberculosis, Not "To Screen or Not to Screen?" but "Who?" and "How?".
- Authors
Farhat, Maha Reda; Jacobson, Karen Rita

Active case finding leveraging new molecular diagnostics and chest X-rays with automated interpretation algorithms is increasingly being developed for high-risk populations to drive down tuberculosis incidence. We consider why such an approach did not deliver a decline in tuberculosis prevalence in Brazilian prison populations and what to consider next.
