New tuberculosis epidemic. Controversies in screening and preventive therapy.

Abstract

The incidence of tuberculosis is increasing in many regions of Canada and the world. Accurate and current knowledge of screening and prevention is of utmost importance for family physicians caring for patients who might be at risk. This article presents guidelines on screening, skin testing, interpretation of results, and preventive therapy.
