Nosocomial tuberculosis (TB) is a serious problem in sub-Saharan Africa due to the absence of protective measures for health care workers (HCWs). To determine the prevalence of TB infection among HCWs in Kampala, Uganda, a cross-sectional study was conducted between June and August 2001. A tuberculin skin test (TST) survey was conducted among 396 HCWs from three hospitals within Kampala, The prevalence of TST > or = 10 mm was 57%. Age and department of employment were associated with TST > or = 10 mm, while occupation and BCG status were not. Health care workers in Kampala, Uganda, have a high prevalence of latent TB infection.
由于缺乏针对医护人员的防护措施，医院内结核病在撒哈拉以南非洲地区是一个严重问题。为确定乌干达坎帕拉医护人员中结核感染的患病率，于2001年6月至8月开展了一项横断面研究。对坎帕拉三家医院的396名医护人员进行了结核菌素皮肤试验（TST）调查，TST≥10mm的患病率为57%。年龄和工作科室与TST≥10mm有关，而职业和卡介苗接种状况则无关。乌干达坎帕拉的医护人员潜伏性结核感染患病率很高。
