[The prevalence of latent tuberculosis infections among health-care workers--a three-country comparison].

Abstract

Health-care workers are regularly screened for tuberculosis. To date, there has been no systematic analysis of the results of such a screening. A TB network for company doctors was created when interferon-? release assays (IGRAs) were introduced in order to systematically collate their experience with IGRAs in preventive check-ups.
