Abstract
We read with interest "Apparent Resurgence of Tuberculosis in Urban Children" by Inselman et al.1 The authors emphasized the continued need for routine tuberculin skin testing in children, especially those in high-risk areas. We agree and wish to underscore further aspects of tuberculosis control. Our recent experience at a suburban county hospital serves to remind the clinician that aggressive identification and appropriate management of close contacts of patients with active tuberculosis remain critically important in terms of individual morbidity and mortality and optimal control of the disease.2
