For #WorldTBDay2021, updated @WHO guidelines on screening for #TB are a critical response to the case detection gap. Unacceptable to miss millions of TB cases-great to have options, strategies, & evidence presented here from 🌍 collabs. @leliachaisson @golubJHUTB @trtc_uw @uwdgh

Our paper detailing the investigation of the first outbreak of #COVID19 in a skilled nursing facility in Illinois. We found a SARS-CoV-2 point prevalence of 26%—importantly, 39% of cases remained asymptomatic over 30 day follow-up. academic.oup.com/cid/advance…

Identifying and controlling nursing home outbreaks poses a significant challenge, though: symptom ascertainment in older individuals with major comorbidities can be difficult, as is effectively implementing infection prevention and control practices.
