Serial testing of health care workers for tuberculosis infection: A prospective cohort study.

Serial testing of health care workers for tuberculosis infection: A prospective cohort study.

Health Care Workers (HCW) may have an occupational risk of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and TB disease. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of the 2-step strategy: tuberculin skin test (TST) followed by confirmation with Interferon (IFN)-γ- release assays (IGRAs) in H...
