Introduction:

Healthcare workers have twice the risk of suffering from tuberculosis. Which has an impact on nosocomial transmission in Health Care Centres (HCC). This highlights the important role played by Occupational Risk Prevention (ORP).

Objectives:

to analyse the treatment guidelines for latent tuberculosis infection in the last 5 years.

Materials and Methods:

Systematic review in MEDLINE with PUBMED, SCOPUS, EMBASE, WOS, Cochrane Library Plus, IBECS, LILACS and CISDOC databases. MeSH “Latent Tuberculosis Infection” and “Latent Tuberculosis/drug therapy”. Quality standards: CONSORT and evidence verification: SIGN system.

Results:

5 clinical trials (n= 14,931) were selected that analysed short regimens compared to Isoniazid monotherapy, with significant differences in favour of short regimens.

Conclusions:

Short guidelines suggest, fewer adverse effects, increased adherence, and higher treatment completion rate.
