Spatial pattern of tuberculosis (TB) and related socio-environmental factors in South Korea, 2008-2016.

Tuberculosis (TB) incidence and corresponding mortality rates in S. Korea are unusual and unique compared to other economically developed countries. Korea has the highest TB incidence rate in Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. TB is known as a disease reflecting...
