    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Public Health
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Tuberculin skin testing (TST) is a key diagnostic tool for latent tuberculosis infection.
    • Effective implementation of TST relies on consistent protocols and quality assurance.
    • Previous assessments highlighted variability in TST procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the current state of tuberculin skin testing practices.
    • To identify areas for improvement in standardization and quality control of TST.
    • To inform the development of enhanced TST protocols.

    Main Methods:

    • Conducting serial audits of tuberculin skin testing procedures.
    • Reviewing hospital protocols and documentation related to TST.
