[MCOH-EH] TB screening and indeterminates

[Hudson, T. Warner]

Assuming TB questionnaire negative, if 0.35-1.1 we retest as soon as we can and if >= 0.70 we get CXR and consider positive, = LTBI if CXR negative but if <0.70 on retest we consider as if negative.  This is for annual surveillance only not exposures where we use 0.35 cut off.

Subject: [MCOH-EH] TB screening and indeterminates

If you are using the  Quaniferon Gold test, would you mind sharing your reference ranges?  If you have set up a borderline or indeterminate reference range, can you tell me how individuals who test in this range  are managed, e.g. repeat testing in two months.
