Abstract:
Investigation of an outbreak of tuberculosis (TB) in a
primary school in Milan, Italy, found 15 schoolchildren had
active TB disease and 173 had latent TB infection. TB was
also identified in 2 homeless men near the school. Diagnostic
delay, particularly in the index case-patient, contributed
to the transmission of infection.
