The risk is further elevated when combined with immunomodulators. Other drugs, including anti-integrins, IL-12/23 inhibitors, and JAK inhibitors (JAK-i), present a variable risk of TB reactivation. Given this risk, screening for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is essential in IBD patients before initiating immunosuppressive therapy. Guidelines recommend performing this screening ideally at the time of IBD diagnosis or, alternatively, before advanced therapy. Diagnostic tests include the tuberculin skin test (TST) and interferon-gamma release assays (IGRA). In immunocompromised patients, false negatives may occur; therefore, dual testing is advised. Chest X-rays are reserved for cases with positive tests or clinical suspicion. In the presence of LTBI, chemoprophylaxis with isoniazid or rifampicin is recommended prior to initiating immunosuppression. If active TB is diagnosed, immunosuppressive therapy must be discontinued and standard antituberculous treatment initiated. The reintroduction of immunosuppressive therapy should be assessed on a case-by-case basis, prioritizing agents with lower reactivation risk. Finally, BCG vaccination is not recommended in IBD patients undergoing immunosuppressive treatment due to its nature as a live vaccine.</p>","PeriodicalId":12802,"journal":{"name":"Gastroenterologia y hepatologia","volume":" ","pages":"502587"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145307822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yao's 22 stations in all individuals who underwent gastroscopy between January 1 and August 2023. All patients underwent biopsy with the Sydney protocol and hematoxylin, eosin, and Giemsa staining.

The prevalence of Hp was 47.5%. The presence of nodular gastropathy and abnormalities in the regular arrangement of collecting venules (RAC) were the endoscopic findings with the highest PPV and NPV, respectively, while atrophy assessed with the Kimura-Takemoto score had a very poor correlation with Hp. The Kyoto score had an AUC of 0.71 and the modified Kyoto score had an AUC of 0.76, which is lower than the performance in the Asian population.
