[Risk of tuberculosis infection among hospital personnel]. 1986

J P Sturmberg, and H D Weiss

The decrease in morbidity due to tuberculosis and the increasing number on non-infected persons strongly suggest a review of the conventional tuberculosis monitoring procedures in hospital staff. A study at Luebeck university on the risk of tuberculosis infection among medical personnel showed that tuberculin tests in non-infected persons and chest x-rays only if exposed to patients in the infectious stage of tuberculosis will suffice and comply with the Federal regulations governing health protection of medical and paramedical staff.
