Hey all last week we had a patient come in to clinic who had + PPD AND findings suggestive of TB on xray. Or office was very ill equiped for this. All we had were surgical masks which the girls rooming the patient did not even wear. Patient was sent to lab to get AFB x3 and no other precautions were taken. How is suspected tb handled in your clinic ? Do you carry n95 masks in your office? Do you make the patient and all staff involved wear one? Do you report somewhere and what measures do you take to minimize spread? Send to hospital? Thank you!
