摘要：

Latent tuberculosis was studied in a research laboratory. A prevalence of positive tuberculin skin test results (>= 15mm) of 20% was found and the main predictors were place of birth in a foreign country with high prevalence of tuberculosis and a history of contact with patients with untreated active tuberculosis.
