结核病 (TB) 是世界上最常见的传染性死亡原因之一。传统上，潜伏性结核感染被理解为细菌病原体结核分枝杆菌的一种静止的、临床无症状的、非传染性的慢性感染状态，可能持续多年。潜伏性结核感染的诊断因诊断测试固有的不确定性以及结核病在个体之间表现的异质性而变得模糊。本次路边咨询探讨了常见问题：如何进行潜伏性结核病诊断？
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most common infectious causes of death in the world. Classically, latent TB infection is understood as a state of quiescent, clinically asymptomatic, noncontagious, chronic infection with the bacterial pathogenMycobacterium tuberculosisthat may persist for many years. Diagnosis of latent TB infection is clouded by areas of uncertainty intrinsic to diagnostic tests and the heterogeneity in how TB manifests across individuals. This Curbside Consult explores the common question: How do I navigate latent tuberculosis diagnosis?
