Management of tuberculosis infection in a general practice setting: An implemented model of care.

Background: Tuberculosis infection (TBI) is an asymptomatic state in which people have been exposed to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, but not yet developed active disease. Most Australian models of care for TBI have been based in tertiary clinics, but people from affected communities consistently would prefer to receive care in a general practice setting.

Objective: This project aimed to develop and implement a model of care for providing safe and effective management of TBI in general practice settings.
