Abstract
The article reports that hospital A notified the North Carolina Division of Public Health that annual tuberculosis screening of neonatal intensive care unit staff members identified six health care staff members with newly positive tuberculin skin tests. It notes that twenty-six infants were present in the NICU during the index infant's hospitalization. It adds that tuberculosis has been associated with infertility, particularly in high-prevalence countries.
