Comparison of yield and relative costs of different screening algorithms for tuberculosis in active case-finding: a cross-section study

Abstract Background Part of tuberculosis (TB) patients were missed if symptomatic screening was based on the main TB likely symptoms. This study conducted to compare the yield and relative costs of different TB screening algorithms in active case-finding in the whole population in China. Methods The...
