Introduction: One-third of the world's population has latent tuberculosis infection and several studies have suggested a high risk of infection - from 2 to 50 times - greater probability in medical students. Objectives: To determine if gender, place of residence, extra clinical exposure, contact with a case of tuberculosis, year of studies and vaccination with BCG are factors associated with latent tuberculosis infection among undergraduate students of medicine at a national university from Peru. Materials and methods: Crosssectional analysis of the population of medical students of the university mentioned. The Chi square test ( X2) and Fisher's test were used for categorical variables. Results: 271 students were studied, of which 104 ( 38.38% ) were men. A significant association was found in the presence of BCG scar ( p <0.05) , which resulted in positive and negative PPD ( p <0.05) ; Other conditions such as age, gender, place of residence, extra clinical exposure, contact with a case of tuberculosis, year of studies and vaccination with BCG had no significant association; In the multivariate model the statistical significant was corroborated for the presence of scar ( odds ratio ( OR ) : 4,79) ; confidence interval ( IC ) 95 %: 1.82-12.65. Conclusion: There is a statistically significant association in favor of the presence of BCG scarring for latent tuberculosis. It is necessary to continue to deepen in the possible scenarios the implementation of tests such as tuberculin as screening for latent tuberculosis.
