Abstract
The tuberculosis team likely has decreased the risk of nosocomial tuberculosis transmission by increasing the proportion of infectious tuberculosis patients admitted into AFB isolation and by reducing (by 780) the number of days out of isolation while smear positive. There also were concomitant financial savings.
