One third of the world's population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis , and 5% to 10% of those infected will develop active disease. Identification and treatment of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is an essential part of the public health strategy to control the spread of TB. The prenatal period provides an opportunity for obstetric providers to assist in this effort by offering testing and treatment to women at risk.
世界三分之一的人口感染了结核分枝杆菌，其中5%至10%的感染者会发展为活动性疾病。识别和治疗潜伏性结核感染（LTBI）是控制结核病传播的公共卫生策略的重要组成部分。孕期为产科医护人员提供了一个机会，可通过为有风险的女性提供检测和治疗来助力这项工作。
