Background: Preventive management of tuberculosis in liver transplantation (LT) is challenging due to difficulties in detecting and treating latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). The aim of this study was to analyze the safety and efficacy of a screening strategy for LTBI with the inclusion of moxifloxacin as treatment.
Methods: We performed a retrospective single-center study of all LTs performed between 2016 and 2019 with a minimum 4-year follow-up and a standardized protocol for the evaluation of LTBI.
