Popis: Tuberculosis transmission is a significant hazard in healthcare settings.Risk factors suggested by CDC guidelines in 1994, which were adopted by the Italian Ministry of Health, were assessed in 29 centres via questionnaires in 2005.Few centers were equipped with negative pressure, respiratory isolation rooms. Half of the centres had high or ongoing risk.The hazard is underestimated mostly because of a high number of initially undiagnosed TB patients.
