There will be no TB journal club in March. We will be going to the joint UCL/LSHTM World TB Day event on 24 March, instead. See you there!
In April, join us to discuss an interesting American paper attempting to estimate rates of TB reactivation in aggregate as well as subgroups of the population. Latency, progression, molecular typing, model parameterisation and policy implications – it should be good!
Shea et al. Estimated Rate of Reactivation of Latent Tuberculosis Infection in the United States, Overall and by Population Subgroup. Am J Epidemiol. 2014; 179(2): 216–225. [available here]
