Description

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.
