"Nurse Assistant has an annual checkup for latent tuberculosis."Commission for Rights and Interests, Recommendations for System Improvement

 

 

Nursing assistants who assist doctors in examining and treating tuberculosis patients are also expected to have to be examined for latent tuberculosis every year.

To strengthen the prevention of tuberculosis infection, the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission said Monday that its nursing assistant has also recommended the Ministry of Health and Welfare to improve the system, which will be included in the "subscribed tuberculosis infection check list."

Currently, doctors, nurses and radiologists who examine and treat tuberculosis patients are designated as subjects to check for periodic latent tuberculosis infections.

However, as the nursing assistant has been excluded from the examination list, it has been pointed out that there is a blind spot in the examination.

Latent tuberculosis refers to the condition in which the patient is infected with tuberculosis bacteria but the tuberculosis bacteria is not active in the body. About 30 percent of those who inhaled tuberculosis bacteria are infected with latent tuberculosis and about 10 percent of those who are infected with latent tuberculosis develop tuberculosis later.
