Because it can be reactivated by immunosuppressive treatments, screening is suggested. In Colombia, the tuberculin test with the booster is recommended in this population because of the risk of false negative results and anergy caused by treatments. Currently, the number of patients detected with this second test is unknown, so the primary objective is to determine the percentage of additional positive detections.</div></div><div><h3>Materials and methods</h3><div>From 2017 to 2022, a cross-sectional, analytical study was conducted on a group of patients from a rheumatology service who had a tuberculin test and a booster within a year to check for latent tuberculosis. Over the course of a year and three weeks, we looked at the number of patients whose booster tests showed new findings. A study was conducted to see if there were any differences in treatment based on the first tuberculin result.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>A tuberculin test was performed on 674 subjects, of whom 496 were immunosuppressed. From the 382 whose test was negative, 191 and 74 booster tests were performed within a year and three weeks; 8 (4.1%) and 3 (3.6%) were positive, respectively.
