TB Screening in Canadian Health Care Workers Using Interferon-Gamma Release Assays

BACKGROUND: While many North American healthcare institutions are switching from Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) to Interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs), there is relatively limited data on association between occupational tuberculosis (TB) risk factors and test positivity and/or patterns of test disc...
