Abstract Background Little is known about the prevalence of latent tuberculosis infections LTBI in health care workers HCW in low-incidence countries especially in hospitals for pulmonary diseases. With Interferon-gamma release assays IGRA a new method for diagnosis of LTBI is available which is more specific than the tuberculin skin test TST . Objectives The study was designed to estimate prevalence of LTBI among 270 HCW in a Hospital of Pulmonary Diseases routinely screened for TB. Methods LTBI was assessed by the QuantiFERON-Gold In Tube QFT-IT
