Objective: To analyze scientific production on the use of health technologies in the context of latent tuberculosis.
Method: A descriptive, quantitative study with bibliometric analysis, carried out in the Scopus and Web of Science databases in December 2024, with descriptive statistical analysis and application of bibliometric laws based on the Bibliometrix package in Script R®.
Results: 176 studies were identified, with a peak in production in 2022; of these, 159 studies were published in scientific article format and 156 in English. Wang Y was the most productive author, with 13 published documents. The United States stood out in terms of production by country, and Johns Hopkins University had 15 affiliated authors. The International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease was the primary source of publications. The terms “tuberculosis” and “latent tuberculosis” were the most common terms used to index the documents.
Conclusion: The behavior of information on the subject has risen.
