Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Active tuberculosis (ATB), instigated by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb), rises as a primary instigator of morbidity and mortality within the realm of infectious illnesses. A significant portion of M.tb infections maintain an asymptomatic nature, recognizably termed as latent tuberculosis infections (LTBI). The complexities inherent to its diagnosis significantly hamper the initiatives aimed at its control and eventual eradication.
