Article Synopsis
- UK guidelines suggest screening for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in high-risk HIV-positive patients, but implementation is lacking.
- A study reviewed case records of HIV patients in London who developed active TB between 2011 and 2015, finding that a significant number met the screening criteria but were not screened.
- The findings indicate missed opportunities for TB prevention, suggesting the need for a broader LTBI screening approach that considers additional risk factors for people living with HIV.
