Results: The first search resulted 156 articles, after linguistic and content screening 16 articles were considered for further analysis. The topics related to the cost-analysis were latent tuberculosis infection, BCG vaccination, cost-effectiveness of TB control program, TB screening, extrapulmonary TB, TB in resource rich and resource poor countries.
