TB Testing for Healthcare Workers

How it Works

Who should be tested for TB infection?

Tuberculosis is a bacterial disease that mainly affects the lungs.  While tuberculosis is not common in the United States, there are still a number of people who will be required to get a TB test for their jobs or other reasons.  Professions that involve being around large groups of people often require TB testing as Tuberculosis is an infectious disease.  Healthcare workers in hospitals or care centers will usually need to test for TB routinely.  Those who work in correctional facilities, homeless shelters, or immigration facilities will also need TB testing.  Students, especially those in medical programs, may need to get a TB test as well.  It is also common for people immigrating to the US from a country where TB is prevalent to need a TB test.
