Abstract
- In the article, the authors discuss the importance of improved data collection and management in the effective care of people with latent tuberculosis (TB) infection in Canada. Topics include the issues in effective data collection like the lack of regulation mandating latent TB infection screening in the immigration medical screening program, the cases of latent TB infection among immigrants, and the need to maintain records in the Integrated Public Health Information System (iPHIS).
