During the initial pre – employment medical screening why is it necessary to have a second tuberculin skin test placed?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends performing a 2-step tuberculin skin test (TST) on all newly employed Health Care Workers who have an initial negative Tuberculin Skin Test result at the time of hire and who have no documented negative Tuberculin Skin Test result during the past 12 months. The purpose of the 2-step Tuberculin Skin Test is to identify Health Care Workers who have had M. tuberculosis infection but whose ability to react to purified protein derivative has waned with time. Subsequent re-challenge with purified protein derivative can boost the hypersensitivity reaction, resulting in a positive TST result. Two-step TST can be used to reduce the likelihood that a boosted reaction is incorrectly identified as a conversion due to recent infection.

What do I need to bring with me for the pre-employment health screening?

 Should you be offered employment at Holy Cross Health Ministries, you will need to bring the following information with you to the Associate Health Office for your Pre-Employment, Post-Offer Medical Screening:

• Last two Tuberculin Skin Tests (formerly known as PPD tests)
• Recent chest-x ray if you have a positive tuberculin skin test history
• Lab results for Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR), Varicella, Hepatitis B
