| Abstract |
OBJECTIVES: Israel has absorbed > 60,000 migrant from the horn of Africa (MHOA) since 2006. No cross-transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from MOHA to Israeli citizens has yet been reported. This study describes the results of contact investigation and laboratory work-out of a unique mixed cluster which included both MOHA and Israeli citizens. Description of the results of epidemiological investigation including laboratory confirmation. This unique Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain included 29 patients: 26 were MOHA and three citizens who immigrated to Israel from the former Soviet Union. This is the first mixed cluster described in Israel, which has not been represented in the SITVIT international database of genotyping markers. The transmission from non-citizens to citizens occurred in a nursing institution, when MOHA infected three other contacts- two of whom were retarded residents, one of them died. The index case was screened before employment, and was permitted to return to wok although his chest X-ray demonstrated radiological findings compatible with tuberculosis. Epidemiological links were found in other 12 MOHA members of the cluster. This report describes cross-transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from non-citizens MOHA to Israeli citizens who were residents of a nursing home, which may be the first sign for an epidemiological shift. Although cross-ethnical transmission is still rare in Israel, medical settings should employ efficient infection control measures to protect both patients and staff from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 October 2019.
All research outputs
#7,187,396
of 23,924,386 outputs
Outputs from Israel Journal of Health Policy Research
#156
of 600 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#118,826
of 329,812 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Israel Journal of Health Policy Research
#6
of 21 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,924,386 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 69th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 600 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 74% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 329,812 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 63% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 21 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
