BackgroundA small village in Nunavik, Quebec experienced a tuberculosis (TB) outbreak in 2012–2013 and then a resurgence in 2015–2016. Cases were still occurring, despite the fact that contact tracing had already been conducted on one quarter of the population. A decision was taken to conduct large-scale screening of the population for TB.
