10 years were statistically significant risk factors for both QFT & TST, while age and nature of work were not statistically significant risk factors for both tests using multivariable logistic regression. Conclusion and Recommendations: There is risk of tuberculosis transmission among HCWs at Cairo University Hospitals, principally among nurses, workers in Chest Department, Internal Medicine Department and technicians in bacteriology lab. Large scale of screening involving all University hospitals staff must be performed.We recommend screening of HCWs using TST then confirming positive cases by Quantiferon and following them. Disease probability in HCWs tested positive by serial testing should be further assessed by chest radiograph. Further reinforcement of the infection control policy is a must and treatment regimen for latent TB infection has to be followed. ]]>
