Transmission of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis among immunocompromised persons in a correctional system--New York, 1991.

.   

Abstract

During 1990 and 1991, nosocomial transmission of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) was documented in four hospitals in New York and Florida. Subsequently, additional MDR-TB outbreaks have been investigated by CDC. This report summarizes preliminary results of an investigation of transmission of MDR-TB in a correctional facility in New York.
