Hi Rachael
If it was an active TB case I would have thought the local TB service would be contacting you, they are a very good source of info. I attach the latest guidance from NICE on TB.
Regards
Karen

Hi there
I just wondered if anyone has come across cases of Pulmonary TB inthe workplace and how they were managed?
We have just had our 3rd case diagnosed and currently it appears that 2 weeks absence is the norm and then the employee can RTW. Is this everyone else's experience?
Also, what are your thoughts in relation to isolation? I have been made aware that the most recent case continues to wonder around the staff accommodation block where he resides!
I look forward to hearing your thoughts as always!
Rgds
Rachael
