Tuberculin Positivity and Patient Contact in Healthcare Workers in the Urban United States
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2015
Abstract
We performed tuberculin and anergy testing in 91 healthy volunteer employees from the patient transport and housekeeping units at an urban tertiary-care hospital, stratifying results by the risk factor of patient contact. Tuberculin positivity was highly prevalent in this group; patient contact was not a predictor of tuberculosis infection risk, and anergy was rare.
