The authors studied 38 TB cases diagnosed between 1992 and 1996 among the 1092 employees (medical and nonmedical) of the pneumophthisiology departments in Bucharest (hospitals and ambulatory units). Most cases had pulmonary involvement (76.3%), 85.7% were bacteriologically tested for bK. Among them, 66.7% were confirmed. The therapeutic results evaluated after 1 year, showed just 1 failure. The medium annual risk of tuberculosis at the PF personnel is corresponding to an incidence of 700/100,000 (6.36 times higher than TB incidence in general population). This conclusions calls for emergency measures for protecting and compensating this personnel.
