Key Words Tuberculosis; Inflammatory bowel disease; Advanced therapy; Ulcerative colitis; Crohn’s disease
Core Tip This multicenter study about inflammatory bowel disease patients on advanced therapy suggests that compliance with standard latent tuberculosis (LTB) screening, as recommended by LTB guidelines, is low at around 60%. Annual screening for LTB was found to be grossly neglected at 27%. Incidence of LTB was 10.7% and active tuberculosis (TB) developed in 4.5% of the patients on advanced therapy. Other interesting finding was occurrence of active TB with any advanced therapy, suggesting that there is no ‘safe’ therapy in TB endemic regions.
