Pengobatan ILTB bertujuan untuk mencegah perkembangan menjadi tuberkulosis aktif. Regimen 4 bulan rifampisin setiap hari dan 3 bulan isoniazid-rifapentine setiap minggu lebih direkomendasikan karena memiliki efektivitas dan tingkat keamanan setara tetapi tingkat kepatuhan berobat lebih baik dibandingkan regimen isoniazid setiap hari selama 9 bulan.
