We conducted a retrospective study to examine trends in latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and TB disease rates among homeless persons in shelters in New York, NY, 1992-2006. Although TB case rates fell from 1,502/100,000 population to 0, a 31% LTBI rate in 2006 shows the value of identifying and treating TB in the homeless.
我们进行了一项回顾性研究，以调查1992年至2006年纽约市收容所中无家可归者的潜伏性结核感染（LTBI）趋势和结核病发病率。尽管结核病发病率从每10万人1502例降至0，但2006年31%的LTBI发病率表明了在无家可归者中识别和治疗结核病的重要性。
