  • Title: [Risk of tuberculosis infection among hospital personnel].
    Author: Sturmberg JP, Weiss HD.
    Journal: Dtsch Med Wochenschr; 1986 Sep 26; 111(39):1479-81. PubMed ID: 3757808.
    Abstract:
    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.
