Question
- What is the cost-effectiveness of serial testing for latent tuberculosis infection in people with a risk of occupational exposure to tuberculosis?
Key Message
In people at risk of occupational exposure to tuberculosis, targeted testing for latent tuberculosis infection (e.g., testing for high-risk individuals, testing after tuberculosis exposure) appears to be more cost-effective than repeated testing, such as testing once a year or every 3 years (findings based on 2 economic evaluations that assessed the cost-effectiveness of repeated latent tuberculosis infection screening in workers of health care settings).
