Screening for Latent Tuberculosis Infection in Patients who are Candidate for Biological Therapies in Spain? A Multidisciplinary Survey.

Introduction: Treatment with biological therapies increases the incidence of tuberculous disease. The introduction of systematic screening for latent tuberculosis infection in patients who are to receive these therapies has reduced this risk. In 2016, the consensus document on the prevention and treatment of tuberculosis in patients who are candidates for biological treatment was published in Spain.

Recovery position significantly associated with a reduced admission rate of children with loss of consciousness.

Potential caregivers (parents, teachers) seem to have a poor knowledge of the recovery position (RP)-that is, the position into which an unconscious child should be placed in order to protect the airway.
