Active TB case finding

Active TB case finding (ACF) refers to any number of strategies used to identify individuals with active TB disease, outside of passive case finding. In passive case finding, individuals with symptoms present at health centers for diagnosis. In active case finding, the health system makes an effort to identify TB cases before they present passively.
