A combination of infection control strategies may significantly reduce the rate of TB transmission, including drug-resistant TB, in high-risk, low-resourced health care settings. A mathematical model was created to simulate TB transmission in high TB/HIV prevalent settings. The model showed that masks alone would prevent 10% of new transmission in an overall epidemic, but could prevent a large proportion of XDR-TB cases among hospital staff. The combination of mask and reduced hospitalization with a shift to outpatient treatment could prevent nearly one-third of XDR-TB cases. Approximately 48% of XDR-TB cases could be averted by the end of 2012, if a combination of mask, reduced hospitalization with shift to outpatient treatment, improved ventilation, rapid drug resistance testing, HIV treatment and TB isolation facilities for highly infectious patients were implemented.
