Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
A. Tuberculosis Testing. The Facility may
				utilize either Tuberculin skin testing or Blood Assay for Mycobacterium
				tuberculosis ("BAMT") for detecting Myobacterium tuberculosis infection:
1. Tuberculin skin testing. A small dose (0.1
				mil) of purified protein derivative (PPD) tuberculin is injected just beneath
				the surface of the skin (by the intradermal Mantoux method), and the area is
				examined for induration (hard, dense, raised area at the site of the TST
				administration) forty-eight to seventy-two (48 to 72) hours after the injection
				(but positive reactions can still be measurable up to a week after
				administering the TST). The size of the indurated area is measured with a
				millimeter ruler and the reading is recorded in millimeters, including zero (0)
				millimeters to represent no induration. Redness and/or erythema is
				insignificant and is not measured or recorded. Authorized Healthcare Providers
				are permitted to perform tuberculin skin testing and symptom
				screening.
2. Blood Assay for
				Mycobacterium tuberculosis ("BAMT"). A general term to refer to in vitro
				diagnostic tests that assess for the presence of tuberculosis ("TB") infection
				with Myobacterium tuberculosis. This term includes, but is not limited to,
				IFN-y; release assays ("IGRA").

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
A. At baseline, Patients in Residential
				Facilities shall have evidence of a two-step tuberculin skin test or single
				Blood Assay for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. If the Patient in a Residential
				Facility has a documented negative tuberculin skin test (at least single-step)
				within the previous twelve (12) months, the Patient shall have only one (1)
				tuberculin skin test or single Blood Assay for Mycobacterium tuberculosis to
				establish a baseline status.
B.
				Patients in Residential Facilities shall have at least the first step within
				thirty (30) days prior to admission and no later than forty-eight (48) hours
				after admission.
C. Patients in the
				Opioid Treatment Program shall receive the first step of the two-step
				tuberculin test within seventy-two (72) hours of admission to the Facility. The
				second step of the two-step tuberculin skin test must be administered within
				the next seven to fourteen (7 to 14) days.
D. Patients with Positive Tuberculosis
				Results.
1. Patients with a baseline positive
				or newly positive test result for Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection (i.e.,
				tuberculosis skin test or Blood Assay for Mycobacterium Tuberculosis) or
				documentation of treatment for latent tuberculosis infection, tuberculosis
				disease or signs or symptoms of tuberculosis, e.g., cough, weight loss, night
				sweats, fever, shall have a chest radiograph performed immediately to exclude
				tuberculosis disease (or evaluate an interpretable copy taken within the
				previous three (3) months). Routine repeat chest radiographs are not required
				unless symptoms or signs of TB tuberculosis disease develop or unless
				recommended by a Physician. These Patients will be evaluated for the need for
				treatment of TB tuberculosis disease or latent tuberculosis infection and will
				be encouraged to follow the recommendations made by a Physician with
				tuberculosis expertise (i.e., the Department's Tuberculosis Control
				program).
2. Patients who are known
				or suspected to have tuberculosis disease shall be transferred from the
				Facility if the Facility does not have an Airborne Infection Isolation room,
				required to undergo evaluation by a Physician, and permitted to return to the
				Facility only with approval by the Department's Tuberculosis Control
				program.
