Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 22, § 51187 - Tuberculosis (TB) Infection
(a) Tuberculosis (TB) Infection means a
condition in which living tubercle bacilli are present in an individual with or
without producing active disease.
(b) For the purposes of this program, an
individual is considered TB infected if a physician indicates a positive
diagnosis or a suspicion of TB infection in his/her diagnosis. A TB infected
individual includes, but is not limited to, an individual who:
(1) Has a positive Tuberculin skin test using
the Mantoux method and who receives treatment for latent TB infection or active
TB;
(2) Has a negative Tuberculin
skin test but whose sputum culture or culture from another tissue sample is
positive for the Tuberculosis organism;
(3) Has never received a Tuberculin skin test
but whose sputum culture or culture from another tissue sample is positive for
the Tuberculosis organism;
(4) Has
a negative Tuberculin skin test and whose sputum or other tissue culture for TB
is not or cannot be obtained, but in the physician's judgement he/she requires
and is given TB-related drug and/or surgical therapy;
(5) Is symptomatic with a negative TB skin
test who is being treated with a TB drug regimen while awaiting the TB culture
results because the physician suspects he/she may have active TB, until such
time as the individual's culture turns out to be negative for TB, causing the
TB drug regimen to be discontinued.
