International Journal of Infectious Diseases Prevalence of Latent Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI) in Saudi Arabia; Population based survey Hanan H. Balkhy, Kamel El Beltagy, Aiman El-Saed, Badr Aljasir, Abdulhakeem Althaqafi, Adel F. Alothman, Mohammad Alshalaan, Hamdan Al-Jahdali International Journal of Infectious Diseases Volume 60, Pages 11-16 (July 2017) DOI: 10.1016/j.ijid.2017.03.024 Copyright © 2017 The Authors Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Prevalence of LTBI using TST and QFT-GIT by age and gender groups. The prevalence of LTBI was significantly different by age groups in both tests and in both genders (p<0001 in each). The prevalence of LTBI was significantly different by gender, only in age group 15-44 years using TST (p<0001).
