Abstract
Over a 2-year period, six cases of active tuberculosis were seen in doctors in two adjacent northern cities. Five patients were junior hospital doctors and three were in close contact with children. Pre-employment screening in four doctors did not take place. Despite screening, two subsequently developed active disease. The advisability and difficulties of screening junior hospital doctors are discussed.Entities:
