Abstract

Introduction: MEDICAL STUDENTS are highly exposed to TUBERCULOSIS. Thus it is of great importance investigation of TB infection among such population.Material and Methods: Manteux was done on 200 MEDICAL STUDENTS, who passed the one month infectious disease course at Imam Reza hospital, at the beginning of extern session between 2010 and 2013 with their permission. Induration diameter was measured and studied after 72 hours. Then skin test status with age, sex, history of close contact to a person with TUBERCULOSIS and underlying diseases of the students analyzed by T- test and.Results: 58% of examined population were females.93.5% and 6.5% had negative and positive skin test results, respectively. Meaningful difference of average age was not reported between the two positive and negative groups (p=0.78). Meaningful difference of gender was not reported in PPD SKIN TEST results between the two groups (p=0.057). None of the participants had history of close contact to a person with TUBERCULOSIS. Only one person had history of kidney transplantation with negative test result.Conclusion: This study showed that manteux test results of the students were positive in 6.5%, which had no meaningful correlation with the gender, close contact with person with TUBERCULOSIS, and underlying disease. Since 93.5% of the students had negative manteux test results and they will have more exposure to TUBERCULOSIS through the next of the medical course, this indicates the importance of conducting the manteux test periodically in this group to receive prophylactic care in seroconvert cases.
