Abstract

 Background: Close Contact investigation is the essential key in tuberculosis (TB) case finding and an effective strategy for TB control program within any society. Methods: In this prospective study, 1186 close family contacts of hospitalized TB patients (index) in a referral TB hospital in Tehran‑ Iran were passively studied. These people were studied to rollout TB infection and disease. Demographic characteristics, clinical and laboratory data of these individuals were reviewed and summarized for analysis. Results: A total of 886 (74. 4%) close‑ family contacts completed their investigation. The index TB patients of these individuals were sputum smear negative for acid‑ fast bacilli in 137 cases (11. 6%) and the rest were smear positive. A total of 610 (68. 8%) close‑ family contact ruled out for TB infection or disease (Group I). A total of 244 cases (27. 5%) had latent TB infection (Group II) and active TB (Group III) was confirmed in 32 cases (3. 6%). A significant difference was shown for female gender, signs and symptoms, family size, and positive radiological finding between Group I and Group II. The study of index parameter including positive sputum smear/culture did not reveal any significant difference, but positive cavitary lesion significantly more has seen in active TB group (P = 0. 004). Conclusions: This study emphasizes on sign and symptoms and radiological finding in TB Contact investigation, where index parameters including positive smear/culture, does not implicate any priority. Although cavitary lesions in index patient have more accompanied by active TB, close contact study should include all of TB indexes. This investigation should include chest radiography for these individuals.
