title: [Protection of health care personnel against tuberculosis].
abstract: Protection of people who are working in health care against tuberculosis has been evaluated recently in several publications and guidelines. The following aims of guidelines are the reduction of emission from infections patients, limitation of aerosol transmission and protection of personnel and other patients against inhalation of infections particles. Because these protective means cannot abolish risk, a survey of the exposed personnel is mandatory as well as a preventive treatment of those infected.
