Abstract

Abstract:

With the use of glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants, biological agents, and small-molecule targeted drugs in patients with rheumatic diseases, the activation of latent tuberculosis infection gradually increased which has become an important front for controlling tuberculosis epidemic. To provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment, this review summarizes the research progress in the epidemiology, diagnostic methods, risk factors, screening strategies and treatment of rheumatic diseases complicated with latent tuberculosis infection.

Key words: Rheumatic disease, Mycobacterium infections, Tuberculosis, Comorbidity, Review literature as topic
