[Method] From March, 28 to February, 29, a total of 457 tuberculosis (TB) notifications were reviewed by the Health Examination Committee of the Health Centers of Osaka City over indications of a contact investigation. A contact investigation was considered necessary for 92 cases with 62 contacts. For the contacts of these cases, the tuberculin skin test (TST) or / and QuantiFERON-TB 2nd Generation (QFT) was used. The contacts testing positive for QFT were classified as infected. The contacts with doubtful QFT were classified as either infected or non-infected according to the QFTpositive rate of the group as a whole. Those with blisters in TST were classified as infected. [Results] Among the total of 84 infected cases thus defined, 56 were QFT-positive, 7 were doubtful, and had blisters with TST. On the other hand, among the total of 55 uninfected cases, 8 were doubtful on the QFT test, 323 were QFT-negative and 74 were cases with TST of erythema less than 3 mm without QFT test. The relationship between characteristics of index cases and whether a contact was infected or not was as follows: Severe chest X-ray findings, sputum smear positivity, and a cough persisting for more than two months were significantly associated with infection of the contacts. The closeness of contact was also significantly related with a higher risk of infection, so that contact with an index case for more than hours, and contact in a space less than square meters were more likely to cause transmission of infection. [Conclusion] Severity of chest X-ray findings, degree of smear positivity and period of cough were confirmed to be important in judging whether investigations are necessary. The time and space of contact were also considered to be important factors. We should consider these factors comprehensively in order to decide on indications for a contact investigation.
