Tuberculosis (TB) screening is required according to our infection control and prevention annual TB risk assessment for all staff, employees, students, physicians, residents, contracted staff, and active service volunteers. Staff members who have never had a positive TB skin test will be tested with a two-step or T-spot prior to start date and then annually. If a person has a history of a positive TB test, initial documentation is requested of their health department TB clinic medical evaluation, any treatment received, and negative chest x-ray report; then a periodic TB symptom survey must be completed at least annually.

Persons who have received the BCG vaccine in childhood and have reacted to a previous TB skin test, or provide verbal history of a positive TB test without documentation, or might be allergic to the PPD, serum will be considered for an IGRA T-Spot TB blood test. Staff members with positive TB test results are required to follow up at their county health department. The TB test has been determined to be safe in pregnancy and is required for employment as determined by infection control and prevention’s TB risk assessment.
