The cited rate of 427/100,000 for smear-positive 15-19 year-olds in fact represents the TB notification rate for 15-19 year-olds.

Also, reference 4 should be changed to
Wood R, Lawn SD, Caldwell J, Kaplan R, Middelkoop K, et al. (2011) Burden of New and Recurrent Tuberculosis in a Major South African City Stratified by Age and HIV-Status. PLoS ONE 6(10): e25098.
