We use Interferon Gamma Release Assays ( IGRA) to test for tuberculosis on all new employees. I have one new employee that I have tested twice (with approx one month in between testing) and both times the results were borderline. Has anyone else had this come up and if so what did you do next? This employee has no symptoms and no high risk activity such as traveling outside the country or having contact with anyone with known Tb.
