pubmed:abstractText |
Transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) to health care workers (HCWs) still represents a public health concern. A total of 71 obstetric workers underwent contact tracing after recent workplace exposure to a highly infectious multidrug-resistant tuberculosis patient [i.e., index case (IC)]. Aim of the study was to identify the main exposure predictors for the risk of conversion through evaluation of tuberculin screening results.
