Nosocomial Transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Subsequent Transmission of Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis in a Healthcare Worker
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2015
Abstract
A phlebotomist with nosocomially acquired human immunodeficiency virus infection developed tuberculosis 10 months after exposure to multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis during a nosocomial outbreak. Healthcare workers with immunosuppression are at increased risk of tuberculosis if infected and, if exposed, should be considered for preventive therapy regardless of tuberculin skin-test status.
