Abstract
The overall prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in this study was 63.36%.
The positivity rate for the tuberculin skin test was higher compared with the QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus test.
The prevalence of LTBI was high among slaughterhouse workers (100%).
Protozoal infection was found to be significantly associated with LTBI.
