Summary

Tuberculosis burden in Vietnam increasing with contribution from low detection rates and increased drug resistance. There is a need to identify MDR-TB (MultiDrug Resistant Tuberculosis) among both notified TB cases and their contacts in the community. Traditional contact tracing often focuses on household contacts while strains of TB circulate in homes, schools, workplaces, and beyond. Social network Analysis (SNA) is a comprehensive approach which includes a set of persons and the connections among them used for analysis of structure of disease transmission.

In this study, SNA will be used to collect network data from 60 newly detected Rifampicin resistant TB patients including an expected 50 MDR-TB patients living in Hanoi, and to identify and test potential MDR-TB cases.
