Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: • Children 2 -11 years of age and people infected with HIV> 2 years of age • People reactive to the Tuberculin dermoreaction test (PPD) with a high risk of developing TB without evidence of active TB. A high-risk reactive person is defined as: 1. Household members and other close contacts of people with confirmed TB culture who are TST-positive as part of a contact investigation within two years of the enrollment date. A close contact is defined as one with> 4 hours in a shared airspace, for a period of one week. Among the close contacts, a positive TST is defined as one with> 5 mm of induration after 5 UT of PPD placed intradermically using the Mantoux technique. 2. TST converters - which converted from documented negative to a positive TST within a period of two years. It is defined as a person with a Tuberculin dermal test> 10 mm within two years after a non-reactive test or a person with an increase of> 10 mm within a period of two years. 3. HIV seropositive people, positive TST (> 5 mm induration). 4. People with> 2 cm * of parenchymal pulmonary fibrosis on chest radiography, no previous history of TB treatment,> 5 mm of induration in TST, and 3 sputum cultures negative for M. tuberculosis in the final report. 5. Children> 2 but 10 mm induration in TST, regardless of the history of TB exposure. • Close HIV-seropositive contacts of people with culture-confirmed TB, regardless of the condition of TST. In addition, close HIV-seropositive contacts of people with culture-confirmed TB who have a documented history of having completed a course of treatment suitable for active TB infection or latent TB are also eligible. • Children> 2 but <5 years of age with a negative initial TST who are close contacts of a culture-confirmed case of TB. • Desire to provide signed informed consent, or parental consent and participant acceptance.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: • Current TB confirmed with culture-positive or by clinical criteria • Suspicion of TB (as defined by the site researcher) or Isoniazid or rifampicin resistant tuberculosis in the source case • A history of treatment for> 14 consecutive days with a rifamycin or> 30 consecutive days with INH during the previous 2 years. • A documented history of having completed a course of treatment suitable for active TB or latent TB infection in a person who is HIV-seronegative. • History of susceptibility / intolerance to isoniazid or rifamycins. • Serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST, SGOT)> 5x the upper normal limit between people who were determined AST. • Pregnant or lactating women. • People who currently receive or plan to receive anti-retroviral therapy (eg, HIV 1 protease inhibitors, nucleoside or non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, CCR5 inhibitors or integrase inhibitors) in the first 90 days after enrollment. • Weight <10.0 kilograms
