Despite the increasing burden and high risks of TB in the elderly population, particularly those living in long-term care facilities (LTCFs), diagnostic testing for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) has not been carefully evaluated in this group. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and predictors of LTBI in older adults living in LTCFs. |
