Management implications of latent TB among under‐five children at risk: Insights from a community study in Mumbai, India
The study found a lower LTBI prevalence among under-five children compared to adults, with key risk factors being HHC, DR-TB contact, and prolonged exposure. These findings suggest the need to revise or revisit the TPT framework for this age group in India, particularly by implementing a test-and-treat approach.
