Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this observational study is to investigate the proportion of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection in school contacts of active tuberculosis (ATB) patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* the proportion of MTB infection among school contacts of ATB patients
* risk factors related to tuberculosis (TB) infection
* health economic evaluation of screening strategy

QuantiFERON-TB Gold (QFT) test

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Participants will be tested by QuantiFERON-TB Gold (QFT) test to see if they have ever infected by MTB. Those with positive results will proceed to sputum Xpert MTB/RIF, physical examination and chest CT scan, as well as sputum culture if necessary to distinguish latent TB infection (LTBI) from ATB. X-ray scan is conditional on age above 15 years with a positive QuantiFERON-TB Gold (QFT) test result.
