Abstract

Contact tracing helps in identifying new Tuberculosis (TB) cases in house hold contacts and thus interrupting the transmission. Our Objective was to determine the proportion of paediatric TB cases started on Anti Tuberculosis Treatment (ATT) under NTEP in Madurai district and to screen and estimate the prevalence of Latent TB Infection (LTBI), active TB disease among the household contacts of paediatric TB index cases.
