Resumo
Objective. Evaluation of the epidemic risk of COVID-19 incidence in the presence of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in workers of anti-tuberculosis institutions.
Materials and methods. The analysis of the results of immunological testing of employees of anti-tuberculosis institutions for LTBI as a professional contact group for tuberculosis was carried out. The prevalence of LTBI was studied depending on gender, age, professional activity, and the relationship between the presence of LTBI and COVID-19 incidence.
Results. The average prevalence of M. tuberculosis among employees of the anti-tuberculosis institution was 9.7% and was related to professional activity - the highest among mid-level and junior medical personnel: 11.4 and 15.7%, respectively. Among health care workers, the likelihood of having LTBI was 1.56 times higher than among non-health care workers. People with LTBI had a 1.36-fold higher risk of developing COVID-19 than those without LTBI.
Conclusion. The prevalence of LTBI among employees of anti-tuberculosis institutions depends on professional activity. The presence of M. tuberculosis infection increases the risk of COVID-19.
