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.
