Setting. In November 2004, a 25-year old male, Dutch-born supermarket employee in the city of Zeist (approx. 60,000 inhabitants) in The Netherlands was diagnosed with sputum- positive cavitary TB. From 19 November to 2 December, 12 close contacts including his family and close friends (median age 25 years, range 13-80) were examined using TST and CXR. Of these 12, three (25%) were diagnosed with active TB and seven (58%) with LTBI. Subsequently, 80 occupational contacts were examined from 6 to 9 December. TBI was diagnosed in 39/67 (58%) current and in 8/13 (61%) former supermarket employ- ees. One of the current employees had developed TB disease and the Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolate later turned out to have the same IS6110 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) pattern as the index case. [X.Xxxxxx, unpublished data]. From positive TST results in colleagues who had stopped working in that supermarket at dif- ferent time points, it was deduced that the infectious period of the index case had lasted from February 2004 until identification in mid-November 2004. During this period, he had performed varying tasks in the supermarket that involved contact with customers. In view of a high rate of transmission, it was decided to investigate all customers who had visited the supermarket during the infectious period. The interval between last possible contact with the source patient and TST placement and blood sampling was 10 weeks. A TST was offered to all customers except persons born before 1945, BCG vaccinated per- sons or those with a history of a positive TST or TB disease, following Dutch guidelines. An anteroposterior CXR was performed on all individuals born before 1945 and on indi- viduals with BCG vaccination, or with a history of TB or positive TST. Nested within this large-scale contact investigation we aimed to recruit 500 subjects on the two days of TST administration by random selection (pre-TST inclusion group). In order to include sufficient numbers of subjects with probable LTBI, we aimed to also include 500 subjects on the reading days who had a TST result ≥ 1 mm (post-TST inclu- sion group). In the pre-TST group and post-TST group, blood was collected, respectively immediately after, and 72 ± 8 hours after the TST was administered. Written informed consent was obtained from all participants. The Ethical Review Board of Hospital Dia- konessenhuis Utrecht/Zeist, The Netherlands approved the study (protocol nr. 2004.23).

Setting. VRND is a public drug treatment facility affiliated with Yuschenko Regional Psychiatric Hospital, and the Department of Medical Psychology and Psychiatry of Vinnitsya Pirogov Medical University. Traditionally, treatment consists of three phases: N medical therapy (adrenergic blockers for withdrawal and detoxification, minor tranquilizers for anxiety and agitation, major tranquilizers for psychosis, antidepressants for depression, vitamins, general nursing and medical care, and referrals), and rarely used physiotherapy (trans-cranial impulse stimulation, electro sleep) and conditioned aversive reflex therapy; N psychotherapy (individual and group counseling, without strict adherence to any systematic evidence-based model); N rehabilitation and supportive therapy (surveillance, prophylactic treatment, medical services, employment assistance, family recovery). There are four inpatient departments and one outpatient department in the VRND. One of the inpatient departments provides acute medical care for intoxications and psychoses, and the other three serve all other patients, without evident specialization by nosology or other patient characteristics. There are three full-time physicians (narcologists) and 12 nurses in each department. There are four psychologists serving all departments in the VRND. In total there are 37 direct treatment providers and 118 support personnel in the VRND and its affiliated medical institutions. The VRND is a 160-bed facility, but these beds are rarely full due to inadequacy and cost of drug addiction treatment in Ukraine. On average, admissions over the past 5 years were 1500 patients per year or 125 per month. Median duration of in-patient stay was 21 days. Although the police brought many patients to the hospital for alcohol detoxification, treatment at the VRND is voluntary, and self- or family-referred. Alcohol-related disorders among registered patients were most common (89.8%), with 10.2% of patients diagnosed with opiate, marijuana, or other substance-related disorders. Depression and psychotic disorders were reported in approximately 30% of the patients. Males represented approximately 70% of the patient population and females 30% with an age range of 18– 65 years. Participants for this study were recruited through an announcement made to VRND patients and staff by the Director of the VRND. Participation was voluntary, and everybody who volunteered was eligible and participated. Staff participants constituted 22.6% of a...
