The following report describes the contact investigation of a pediatrician with tuberculosis (TB). The pediatrician's disease was discovered in late February 1993 after tuberculin skin testing (TST) of his 15-month-old son was positive (13-mm induration). Further investigation to identify the source of the child's infection revealed a positive (15-mm induration) TST in the pediatrician. The pediatrician had been symptomatic with a cough since September 1992. The pediatrician had a chest radiograph that revealed numerous cavitary lesions and a sputum smear that was positive for acid-fast bacilli. An investigation was initiated to assess whether the transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis had occurred in the pediatrician's office to patients, families, or other visitors. The investigation was later extended to include the hospitals and the day care center where the pediatrician worked.
