The timing of tuberculosis after isoniazid preventive therapy among gold miners in South Africa: a prospective cohort study
BACKGROUND: The durability of isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT) in preventing tuberculosis (TB) is limited in high-prevalence settings. The underlying mechanism (reactivation of persistent latent TB or reinfection) is not known. We aimed to investigate the timing of TB incidence during and after IP...
