Treatment of Latent Tuberculosis Infection in Children.

Andrea T Cruz1, Amina Ahmed2, Anna M Mandalakas3, Jeffrey R Starke4.   

Abstract

Treatment of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is an effective way of preventing future cases of tuberculosis disease. We review pediatric and adult studies of LTBI treatment (isoniazid and rifampin monotherapy, isoniazid plus rifampin, isoniazid plus rifapentine, and rifampin plus pyrazinamide). Based upon this review and our pediatric experience, we can offer recommendations for routine (isoniazid) and alternative courses of therapy.
