Latent tuberculosis prevalence in healthcare workers in Laos: a cross-sectional study.
Trop Med Health
January 2025
LaoLuxLab/Vaccine Preventable Diseases Laboratory, Institut Pasteur du Laos, Vientiane, Laos.
Background: Individuals with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) have a high risk of active infection, morbidity and mortality. Healthcare workers are a group who have increased risk of infection and onward transmission to their patients and other susceptible individuals; however, LTBI is often undiagnosed, and individuals are asymptomatic. Interferon gamma release assays (IGRA) can detect evidence of TB infection in otherwise asymptomatic individuals and are a good indication of LTBI.
