Tuberculosis screening is recommended for all health care workers. We evaluated the prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection among 939 hospital workers of Tor Vergata University teaching hospital in Rome, Italy, in the period 2007-2013, by using the QuantiFERON Gold In-Tube (QFT) test. The mean age of subjects tested was 31 years. The prevalence of positive subjects (cut-off 0.35 UI/ml) was 5.5% (46/939) and the mean age of those who tested positive was 39 years. The low rate of positivity may be partly related to the higher reliability of QFT in comparison to tuberculin skin testing.
建议对所有医护人员进行结核病筛查。我们于2007年至2013年期间，在意大利罗马的托雷维加塔大学教学医院，对939名医院工作人员使用全血γ干扰素释放试验（QFT）检测，评估潜伏性结核感染的患病率。接受检测的受试者平均年龄为31岁。阳性受试者（临界值为0.35 UI/ml）的患病率为5.5%（46/939），检测呈阳性者的平均年龄为39岁。阳性率较低可能部分与QFT相比结核菌素皮肤试验具有更高的可靠性有关。
