L’ITL est la forme latente de l’infection, soit la présence de bacilles tuberculeux à l’intérieur de l’organisme sans manifestation de la maladie. La plupart du temps, elle se manifeste par une réaction au test cutané à la tuberculine (TCT) ou par un résultat positif au test de libération de l’interféron gamma (TLIG), 2 à 8 semaines après le contact. 4, record 1, French, - tuberculose%20latente

Il existe deux affections associées à la tuberculose : l'infection tuberculeuse latente et la tuberculose active. [...] De façon générale, la forme latente devient active lorsque le système immunitaire est affaibli, en présence d’autres problèmes de santé ou après une exposition à des personnes atteintes de tuberculose active. 3, record 2, French, - tuberculose%20pulmonaire%20active
