Selected Bibliography Identification and Management of Persons Infected with M. tuberculosis TB control programs should establish working relationships with other health care providers and agencies who provide health care services to high-risk populations and should assist them in developing and implementing testing programs. Testing for TB infection should be done in well-defined groups.
Flexibility is needed in defining high-priority groups for testing.
The changing epidemiology of TB indicates that the risk for TB among groups currently considered high priority may decrease over time, and groups currently not identified as being at risk subsequently may be considered as high priority.
