We screen high-risk populations or contacts of tuberculosis (TB), monitor cases of TB, and ensure proper treatment is received. This service is available by appointment only.
High risk populations include those:
- With recent close contact with someone with infectious TB disease
- Not born in the US, or who have lived in or traveled a month or more in a TB endemic country
- With fibrotic abnormalities or chest x-ray consistent with old TB
- With HIV infection or HIV risk factors
- With a substance abuse problem
- Who are residents / employees of a high-risk congregate setting
- With medical conditions associated with increased risk of progressing to TB disease if infected
