Tuberculosis control in health care

G Pugliese et al. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol. 1996 Dec.

Abstract

This article describes the basic framework for developing a tuberculosis (TB) control program. We suggest how to assess the risk of TB in a healthcare delivery setting, how to prioritize control measures based on their effectiveness, and how to meet current regulatory requirements. In addition, we discuss some problematic issues, examples of how other hospitals have confronted these issues, and where to obtain additional information on nosocomial TB.
