Latent Tuberculosis Infection
Abstract
A 44-year-old man who recently immigrated from Peru is found to have induration of 16 mm on a tuberculin skin test. He received bacille Calmette–Guérin vaccine as an infant and is asymptomatic. Chest radiography shows fibronodular opacities in the upper lobe. In another case, a 27-year-old schoolteacher born in the United States has induration of 17 mm on a tuberculin skin test, no symptoms, and a normal chest radiograph. How should these patients' cases be managed?

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
