Early Therapy for Latent Tuberculosis Infection

American Journal of Epidemiology, 2001
Abstract The risk of developing active tuberculosis is highest within the first 2 years of infection. Therefore, an intervention that targets persons with recent infection, such as identifying contacts of active cases, could be particularly effective as an epidemic control measure.

Vaccine strategies against latent tuberculosis infection

Trends in Microbiology, 2007
The leading tuberculosis (TB) vaccines currently in clinical trials are all designed as prophylactic vaccines. Although these vaccines are highly active, they will most probably not result in sterilizing immunity and, therefore, will not solve the global problem of latent TB.

Diagnosis of Latent Tuberculosis Infection

JAMA, 2005
IN 2003, THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION REPORTED 8.8 million cases of tuberculosis (TB) worldwide, nearly half of them presenting with an infectious form of disease, and resulting in 1.7 million deaths from TB. Since TB transmission occurs before diagnosis in the index case, even when an optimal TB control program is in place, new and undiagnosed cases ...

Diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection

Tuberculosis and socially significant diseases
The literature review is devoted to the characteristics of methods for diagnosing latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in various epidemiological and clinical situations. For many years, the tuberculin skin test (TST) has been used for these purposes. In the last decade, tests for assessing the production of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) with M.
