Abstract

Although guidelines for population-based TB disease prevalence surveys exist, these cannot readily be used for measuring the prevalence of TB disease among health care workers, specific adaptations are needed. This guide is intended to provide that guidance for the specific setting of health care workers. This guide is designed to be used in combination with the WHO TB Prevalence Surveys: A Handbook.
