Abstract
- Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) treatment is challenging in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) residents due to the occurrence of medical complexities. However, factors associated with treatment interruption have not been extensively studied. This retrospective cohort study aimed to determine LTBI-associated factors and treatment interruption in LTCF residents and employees in Taiwan.
