Our TB incidence is very low and our risk assessment reveals that we only do TB at hire and post exposure; we do not do it annually. If we do a post exposure, we use the QFT.

For hospitals using IGRA (Quantiferon TB Gold test/ T-SPOT test) for pre-employment TB screening, what method do you use for periodic (annual) TB screening? Do you continue to use IGRA or revert to PPD.
Thanks.
