Abstract

South Africa is among WHO's list of 30 high-burden tuberculosis countries and has one of the highest incidence rates of notified tuberculosis in the world.1 In The Lancet Infectious Diseases, Sizulu Moyo and colleagues2 report their findings from the first national tuberculosis prevalence survey in South Africa, which is a very important study that provides improved understanding of the true extent of tuberculosis and helps to identify groups who might be underserved by health services and where tuberculosis might be undiagnosed.
