Hi Michael,
Here at The Canberra Hospital, we do BCG instillations and Mantoux
screening yearly.

Mantoux screening
Thanks for all who have replied so far. I just need to clarify my
question a bit.
I need to specifically know if any other organisations have a specific
health surveillance program for staff handling BCG used for bladder
instillations. Whilst knowing whether all HCW’s are screening for TB is
useful, I have been advised that we should have a specific health
surveillance program for staff who handle BCG (specifically the
reconstitution of the freeze dried powder and the administration of the
solution). Does anyone out there have any such a program? If so, how
frequently do you conduct Mantoux on this group of staff?
If anyone has any comment or opinion on this form of health surveillance
I would also be very interested.
Thanks

screening
For those ICP’s involved in staff health, I am interested in knowing how
many organisations offer routine Mantoux screening to staff involved in
BCG instillations / immunotherapy. If you do offer routine Mantoux for
this group of staff, how frequently are they performed?
Any comments or opinions appreciated!!
Thanks
