Addressing the burden and detection gap of latent tuberculosis infection in schoolchildren and adolescents in China: a cross-sectional study
The LTBI detection gap existed among schoolchildren and adolescents in Chongqing, and it also may exist in other similar countries and regions. National screening strategy needs improvement. Regular training and quality assurance could improve the performance of TST and C-TST and close the detection gap of LTBI.
