Policy
From the WIC Services Policy and Procedure Manual – 360.60 Infectious
Disease Control, Tuberculin Risk Assessment & Testing Tuberculosis (TB) is a communicable disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, or the tubercle
bacillus. It is spread by tiny airborne particles (droplet nuclei) expelled by a person who has infectious
TB. There is the potential for M. tuberculosis transmission at every WIC clinic setting. Periodic risk
assessments are used to develop tuberculosis control plans to reduce the risk for transmitting M.
tuberculosis.
A health care worker (HCW) is any paid or unpaid person working in a health care setting who has the
potential for exposure to M. tuberculosis.
Purified protein derivative (PPD) – Tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD) is an extract of
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria that cause tuberculosis in humans. It is used to test if a person
has been exposed to tuberculin protein, either from a previous tuberculosis vaccination, or from
environmental exposure.
Tuberculin test conversion - tuberculin test conversion is a change in PPD test results from negative to
positive. A tuberculin skin test conversion is defined as an increase of greater than or equal to 10 mm of
induration within a two-year period. A conversion within a two-year period is usually interpreted as new
M. tuberculosis infection, which carries an increased risk for progression to active disease.
