The Global Burden of Latent Tuberculosis Infection: A Re-estimation Using Mathematical Modelling (2016, methodology): “A previously published study of childhood tuberculosis [16] characterized this ratio in the modern era by fitting a log-normal distribution to data from reviews of studies in which both ARI and prevalence estimates were available [9,10].”
Central Nervous System Tuberculosis: Pathogenesis and Clinical Aspects (2008, background): “A recent cost-benefit analysis estimated that one case of TBM will be prevented with every 3,435 BCG vaccinations provided to infants and was deemed highly cost-effective (223).”
