摘要: Background Estimation of the frequency latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is difficult in areas with low rates and high exposure to non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), including BCG vaccination. The objective was assess LTBI M avium estimate their probability based on skin tests responses an infant population from a region aforementioned characteristics.
