Abstract		Treatment of latent tuberculosis infection reduces the risk of active tuberculosis by 90%. In immunocompromised patients, the reactivation of tuberculosis appears more often. We present a female patient, who had been screened for latent tuberculosis infection after having contact with tuberculosis-infected patient. Despite these measures, she developed active disease. In the second case, we present a male patient, who had not been screened for latent tuberculosis infection before commencement of treatment with immunosuppressive agents. During treatment, he acquired active disease.
Summary		Zdravljenje latentne tuberkuloze do 90% zmanjša možnost za razvoj aktivne bolezni. Pri bolnikih, ki so imunokompromitirani, pride do reaktivacije tuberkuloze pogosteje. Prikazujemo primer bolnice, ki je bila pravilno pregledana pri pulmologu zaradi stika z bolnikom z aktivno tuberkulozo, a je kljub temu zbolela. Drugi primer prikazuje bolnika, ki pred uvedbo imunosupresivnih zdravil ni bil pregledan pri pulmologu in je med zdravljenjem zbolel za aktivno tuberkulozo.
