The Latent Tuberculosis Infection Case Study is a tool for instructors who are training clinicians about tuberculosis (TB) disease and latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). The case study is designed to be one component of an instructor’s larger training curriculum. The instructor can use the case study to challenge learners to apply course concepts to a “real life” situation.
This case study focuses on the following areas:
| |
 |
Identification of persons at increased risk for the development of tuberculosis once infected with M. tuberculosis
| | | | Administration of tuberculin skin tests (TST) and interpretation of the results
| | | | Ruling out active TB
| | | | Treatment options for LTBI
| | | | Monitoring patients being treated for LTBI.
|
The case study comes with online instructor and participants resources and materials including PowerPoint slides and masters for overhead transparencies.
