A total of 100 subjects were examined by IGRA resulting in 30 positive subjects consisting of 30.3% male and 29.9% female. TB contact history (OR 5.167; 95% CI = 1.831-14.567; p=0.002) and level of knowledge about TB (OR 0.019; 95% CI = 0.005-0.069; p<0.05) are significantly related to the incidence of LTI in adolescents in islamic boarding schools. |
