摘要：

We assessed the impact of the updated guidelines on tuberculin skin test interpretation in the North East of England. Data on 241 children screened for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) between January 2011 and July 2018 were analyzed; 12.4% of children screened under the previous guidelines were treated for LTBI, compared to 33.3% under the new ones (P < 0.001).
