Summary

Published December 2016.

In this issue of Public Health Action, Skinner and Claassens applied a qualitative method by interviewing patients diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB) in South Africa. TB case detection was increased by providing TB screening for patients seeking medical care at primary health care facilities and by outreach campaigns in the community. However, some patients were not aware that health staff were screening them for TB.
