A nursery nurse that was working in the neonatology service had been diagnosed with tuberculosis. As a consequence, the newborn infants were in danger of a possible contamination during a 4-month period.One hundred and thirty kids that had been in touch with the nurse were given attention. Prophylactic treatment for three months with isoniazid and rifampicin has been proposed to all families. Each of them was screened with a tuberculin sensitivity test and was given chest radiography initially and after three months.None of the children was initially suspected for tuberculosis. Among the chest radiographies, 97.6% were normal and all the intradermal tuberculin were either negative or in the norm following a vaccination by the Bacillus Calmette-Guerin. In most cases, the treatment tolerance was high.A 4-year-long surveillance ensured that no infant was infected. This procedure has established that the risk of transmission by a nurse is low, should it be for newborn babies, as long as guidelines are strictly adhered to. |
