TB prevalence surveys yield useful information in areas where notification data obtained through routine surveillance are incomplete, or of unproven accuracy, and in areas with an estimated TB prevalence of more than 100 per 100 000. These surveys are used to evaluate the performance of the TB program, and to assess trends over time. To achieve this objective, data are collected through standards methods in a well-defined studyTuberculosisPublic healthElectronic books.Tuberculosis.Public health.362.196995World Health Organization.Regional Office for the Western Pacific.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459948203321Assessing tuberculosis prevalence through population-based surveys2140380UNINA
