[Tuberculosis prevention].

Unlabelled: Tuberculosis prevention is classically based on early detection of potential contagious cases and their effective treatment.

Traditional screening methods such as chest X-ray and tuberculin skin test, due to their high sensitivity and low cost, remain valid especially in populations with a high prevalence of the disease.

[Family transmission of atopic organ manifestations and allergen sensitizing in 659 Tunisian families].

Background: The atopic family transmission is the topic of many studies. In addition to the allergy total transmission, which is well established, it seems that atopic organ manifestations and their gravity are family transmitted. To our knowledge, very few authors studied the specific transmission of allergen sensitizing.
