- Abstract
Objective: to analyze the bibliometric profile of scientific production on latent tuberculosis infection, available in the Web of Science database. Methods: bibliometric study, with a quantitative approach. A search strategy was organized with terms from the Medical Subject Headings vocabulary, including publications from January 2016 to August 2021. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed and the Bradford and Zipf Laws were applied. Results: the sample consisted of 2,460 publications, with a predominance of original articles, in English, from the years 2018 to 2020. 10 authors and 25 North American and British institutions stood out. The United States of America and England were the countries that published the most. The main area of research was that of infectious diseases. 25 most influential journals and 10 keywords with greater representation were identified. Conclusions: it was found that the scientific production on latent tuberculosis infection is extensive and diverse, and showed a tendency to increase in the period studied.
