Popis:	Dear Editor, We are impressed by the article titled “Latent tuberculosis diagnostics: current scenario and review” by Gupta et al. published in your journal. The authors have reviewed the tests used for diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection and have given a detailed overview of the purified protein derivative-based tuberculin skin test and interferon γ release assays. We would like to draw attention to the fact that in 2022, the World Health Organization has also recommended the use of Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen-based skin tests for the diagnosis of latent tuberculosis (conditional recommendation, very low certainty of evidence).
