Latent tuberculosis prevalence in healthcare workers in Laos: a cross-sectional study by Sypaseuth Duangmixay, Siriphone Virachith, Judith M. Hübschen, Phitsada Siphanthong, Sakhone Suthepmany, Somphou Sayasone, Antony P. Black

“…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. …”
