In low- and middle-income countries it is used more often to manage pregnancy-related complications and severe childhood anaemia. WHO response
haematological transplant and patients with silicosis should be systematically tested and treated for LTBI. (Strong recommendation, low–very low-quality evidence. Updated recommendation) In countries with a low TB incidence, systematic testing for and treatment of LTBI may be considered for
