Annual Risk of Tuberculosis Infection Among the Tribal Children of Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh. Indian Pediatrics. 2011 Jan; 48(1): 43-45.http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/168744A cross sectional tuberculin survey was undertaken to estimate the Annual Risk of Tuberculosis Infection (ARTI) amongst tribal children aged 1-9 years in Jhabua district, Madhya Pradesh, India. Of the 1056 test-read children, 774 (73.3 %) had no BCG scar. The prevalence of infection was estimated as 6.3% (95% CI: 4.8-7.7) and ARTI as 1.2 % (95% CI: 0.9-1.5). The findings suggest that the tuberculosis situation in the tribal population of Jhabua district is not that different from the situation among the non-tribal population in the country. However, there is a need to further intensify tuberculosis control measures in the area.enAnnual risk of tuberculosis infectionIndiaTuberculosisPrevalenceAnnual Risk of Tuberculosis Infection Among the Tribal Children of Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh.Article
