Özet

Tüberküloz (TB) kontrolünü sağlamada temaslı taraması yapılması ve gerekli olgularda kemoprofilaksi başlanması büyük önem taşır. Bu yazıda aynı ailede 23 yıl içinde gelişen sekiz TB olgusu tartışıldı. Kaynak olgu saptandıktan sonra temaslı taraması yapılmaması ve kemoprofilaksi başlanmaması diğer olguların ortaya çıkmasına neden olmuştur. Olgular TB kontrolünde temaslı taraması ve kemoprofilaksinin önemini vurgulamak amacıyla sunulmuştur.
