The latency time of an infectious disease is de"ned as the time from infection to disease onset. This paper applies the proportional hazards model to estimate the e!ect of covariates on latency when the time of disease onset is exact or right-censored but the time of infection is interval-censored.
I create a general model to perform score tests on interval censored data. Special cases of this model are the score tests of Finkelstein, Sun and Fay. Although Sun's was derived as a test for discrete data and Finkelstein's and Fay's tests were derived under a grouped continuous model, by writing a
As the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) has increased in the United States, occupationally acquired TB has increased among the health care workers (HCWs). This paper describes a model developed in response to the needs of an outbreak of multidrug-resistant TB. One of the goals of the outbreak investig
