Burden of Latent Tuberculosis Infection among Healthcare Workers of Primary Health Centres and its Association with Clinical Laboratory Parameters

2024-09-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> <h4>Objectives</h4> Healthcare workers (HCWs) are at high risk of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) due to their continued occupational exposure. The incidence of LTBI among the HCWs has seldom been investigated. Primary health centres (PHCs) provide effective and affordable medical care largely for the local population. The HCWs of PHCs who are likely to have increased occupational exposure ha...
