"They thought the low-grade fever might be attributable to recent dental surgery.
Throughout the period, most notifications in the older age groups were estimated to be a result of endogenous reactivation, while most cases among teenagers and younger adults were estimated to be attributable to recent transmission.
With time, an increasing proportion of TB cases among the Dutch were expected to be attributable to recent transmission from non-Dutch source cases (2).
We estimate that 9%13%% of TB cases were attributable to recent transmission from identifiable close contacts and that nearly half of the TB cases arising from recent infection had acquired the infection from HIV-positive patients.
Taking the proportion with transmission confirmed from family and household PSCs combined as 44.3% (Table 2) and the prevalence of exposure (at least 1 family or household PSC with smear-positive TB) as 21.3%, we estimate that 0.443 × 0.213 = 9% of TB case-patients in this population were attributable to recent transmission from identified smear-positive PSCs in their families or households.
28 Given the absence of effect of the interventions on MSSA, the decline in MRSA prior to interventions, the strain specificity of the effect on MRSA and the difficulty of demonstrating the effect of an intervention package on MRSA isolation, 14 we find it difficult to estimate how much, if any, of the observed decline in MRSA isolations is attributable to recent infection-control measures.

The values for successful blood pressure control obtained in our study are much higher than previously reported from population surveys in the UK. 5 In part, this may be attributable to rapid recent improvements.
This acute effect makes it difficult to investigate the effect of physical activity on insulin sensitivity or glucose transport, since observations could be attributable to the most recent bout of activity rather than to a chronic effect.
