DOI: 10.3855/jidc.21027
Abstract: INTRODUCTION The optimal frequency of rescreening for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in patients with inflammatory arthritis on biologic/targeted-synthetic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (b/ts-DMARDs) is uncertain. We aimed to evaluate the impact of LTBI re-screening using… read more here.
