Abstract
Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is characterized by immune responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens without clinical symptoms or evidence of active tuberculosis. Effective LTBI management is crucial for tuberculosis elimination, requiring accurate diagnosis and treatment. In South Korea, LTBI guidelines have been updated periodically, with the latest in 2024. This review discusses the recent changes in the Korean guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of LTBI in adults.
