Impact of interferon-xcexb3 release assay on the latent tuberculosis cascade of care: axc2xa0population-based study

[摘要] ExtractLatent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) screening and treatment can have a significant impact on TB incidence if a high proportion of at-risk people successfully complete an adequate course of LTBI therapy [1xe2x80x935]. Patient loss and dropouts occur at multiple points along the LTBI screening and treatment process; ultimately resulting in a minority of high-risk people completing LTBI therapy. To understand the public health impact of new screening and treatment strategies; we need to evaluate the impact of various interventions on the LTBI cascade of care.
