Patients With Tuberculosis, Mycobacteriosis or Latent Tuberculosis

Sponsor: IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna

Summary

In the last 30 years, tuberculosis (TB) has re-emerged in industrialised countries as a public health, with a decrease in incidence among the resident population and an increase in the burden of immigrants. Therefore, it becomes a priority to implement an effective TB control that relies on both rapid and reliable identification of active infections, with a adequate treatment and surveillance of resistance, but also on the identification of latent tuberculosis infections (ITBL) in populations at higher risk of progression to the active disease, representing a source of infection for the community.
