The prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) infection in healthcare workers (HCWs) is completely unknown in Mexico. To evaluate the frequency of TB infection in our hospital, we performed a prevalence study of tuberculin reactivity among a random sample of asymptomatic HCWs. Our results showed an extremely high prevalence of PPD reactivity (70%) among 175 HCWs, probably related to the high incidence of active TB in the general population and to the absence of preventive programs.
在墨西哥，医护人员中结核病（TB）感染的流行情况完全未知。为评估我院结核病感染的频率，我们对无症状医护人员的随机样本进行了结核菌素反应性的患病率研究。我们的结果显示，在175名医护人员中，PPD反应性的患病率极高（70%），这可能与普通人群中活动性结核病的高发病率以及缺乏预防项目有关。
