Tuberculosis Control Center (TBCC) is responsible for prevention of the TB in France. The collaboration
of this center with its partners has not yet been studied. All notified cases of TB and all of their contacts
screened between 2007 and 2011 were retrospectively included. Communication between actors in
tuberculosis control was analyzed. Of the 175 reported cases, the TBCC sent 85.1% of letters to the
notifiers, their partners and the partners sent 74.9% of letters, p 0.5). Collaboration between the TBCC and its partners is not optimal. Strengthening
communication between the TBCC and its partners in the Somme department is fundamental for an
optimal collaboration in the fight against TB.
