Damn. Tuberculosis cases are occasionally reported in the U.S., but an outbreak of 50 cases in San Francisco is extraordinary. There's no good TB vaccine -- BCG is used in some countries, but it's not very effective.

Optimising the use of currently available treatments through treatment stratification could reduce treatment duration by 2-months for the majority. TB treatment stratification strategies should be prospectively trialled in a phase III RCT.
