Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is a clinical condition characterized by a positive tuberculin skin test in the absence of clinical or radiological signs of active tuberculosis disease. It has been estimated that one third of the world's population is latently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and serves as an enormous reservoir for future ...

Latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection
New England Journal of Medicine, 2015The natural history of tuberculosis begins with the inhalation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis organisms; a period of bacterial replication and dissemination ensues, followed by immunologic containment of viable bacilli. The result of this process is asymptomatic latent tuberculosis infection, which is defined as a state of persistent bacterial viability,

Treatment strategies for the latent tuberculosis infections
Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2023This study investigates the dynamics of tuberculosis transmission through mathematical modeling, incorporating exogenous reinfections and different treatment approaches for latent tuberculosis infections. We examine three types of treatment rates: saturated, unsaturated, and mass screening-then-treatment.

Latent Tuberculosis Infection and BCG Vaccination
Journal of Midwifery & Women's Health, 2005One third of the world's population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and 5% to 10% of those infected will develop active disease.
