This record describes two anonymised datasets collected as part of a concurrent adult pulmonary tuberculosis prevalence survey (using digital radiography using CAD4TB and Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra) and child M. tuberculosis infection survey (using QuantiFERON-TB® Gold Plus) using a cluster-based unequal probability random sampling method. The aim was primarily to provide a baseline measure of the burden of adult infectious tuberculosis in Karachi and assess feasibility of conducting QuantiFERON-TB® Gold Plus at scale in children aged 2 to 4 years.
Alternative Title
Zero TB Transmission survey (ZTTS)
Additional Information
The study team have applied for ethics permission to make anonymised data via controlled access methods. This record will be updated when written permission has been obtained.
