Occupational Screening for Latent Tuberculosis Infection

Publication : September 2, 2021

Messages clés

In people at risk of occupational exposure to tuberculosis, targeted testing for latent tuberculosis infection (e.g., testing for high-risk individuals, testing after tuberculosis exposure) appears to be more cost-effective than repeated testing, such as testing once a year or every 3 years (findings based on 2 economic evaluations that assessed the cost-effectiveness of repeated latent tuberculosis infection screening in workers of health care settings).
