A comparison between passive and active case finding in TB control in the Arkhangelsk region

Abstract: BackgroundIn Russia, active case finding (ACF) for certain population groups has been practiced uninterruptedly for many decades, but no studies comparing ACF and passive case finding (PCF) approaches in Russia have been published.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to describe the main differences in symptoms and diagnostic delay between patients who come to TB services through PCF and ACF strategies.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 453 new pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients, who met crite… Show more

“…An active case finding (ACF) is a systematic and intensified screening of a latent TB infection in the community that attempts to identify individuals with TB earlier than they have previously been identified using a passive case finding [23]. An active case finding is more effective than a passive case finding, particularly in risk groups such as TB patients' household contacts, the homeless, prisoners and HIV-infected individuals [24]. PCF systems should be complemented with ACF strategies, especially for these just mentioned risk groups [24].…”
