| Abstract |
The prevalence of tuberculosis among workers in a Spanish enterprise is studied through the application of the tuberculin skin test to a group of young workers from urban areas, a section of the population in which a higher incidence of tuberculosis has been described in past years. Prevalence was found to be 20.1%. This result shows that tuberculosis persists among workers and control measures are limited. Topics: epidemiological aspects; frequency rates; infection control; prophylaxis; Spain; tuberculin test; tuberculosis. |
