[MCOH-EH] Positive TB reactors

[Wintermeyer, Stephen F.]

Deborah,

Please help me understand your process.

When you state you do Annual TB Assessment/Questionnaires, are you referring only to individuals with a past positive TB test or all individuals?

If you are referring to past positives, I do not understand the of a Quantiferon Gold if the TB Questionnaire is concerning.  If the individual is already considered to be a past positive, what additional information does the Quantiferon Gold give you?

We do annual TB Assessment/Questionnaire.  If there is a concern we can follow with a Quanteferon Gold or chest xray.
Have a great day!

Does anyone know if it is a requirement to assess for symptoms of active TB in past positive reactors?  I currently do a yearly questionnaire for symptoms but others in my system don’t.  Thank you for any guidance you can offer.
