[Assessment of the risk of tuberculosis among health care personnel in Meknes].

Tuberculosis has long been a concern for those responsible for the health of hospital personnel. Several studies of healthcare professionals who work in Morocco with patients with tuberculosis have shown annual incidence rates approximately ten times higher than those for the general population. This survey of the risk of tuberculosis among healthcare personnel (109 subjects with high and 118 with intermediate exposure to tuberculosis) and a control population (124 teachers) showed a positive correlation between the diameter of the tuberculin induration and intensity of exposure (significant difference between the highly exposed versus those with intermediate or no exposure).
