Core Tip Standard latent tuberculosis (TB) infection screening before anti-tumor necrosis factor therapy does not fully protect against active TB in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This report is the first to systematically document both nutritional deficiency and crowded dormitory exposure as concurrent, potentially modifiable risk factors in this setting. Clinicians managing IBD with biologic therapy should integrate routine nutritional assessment and environmental risk evaluation into their preventive approach, particularly for young patients in communal living settings. These findings support expanding TB prevention beyond serology to a multifactorial clinical framework.
