What format would work best? (Same as now, case presentations, discussion, Q&A, etc.) FUTURE TBNN MEETING DISCUSSION What topics would be helpful to discuss or have presentations on? How often should meetings be held? Most people via email seemed fine with twice a year One in summer and one in winter?
Question from a member: Has anyone encountered a case where a patient had completed treatment for LTBI/Active TB and then had an exposure at a later date? How was this case handled? OPEN FORUM If someone has tested positive for COVID and requires a TST, how long do you wait after that positive test before placing the TST? Other topics for discussion?
Thank you for attending! Slides and resources will be emailed out and posted on our website WRAP-UP If you have ideas for future TBNN topics or questions about today s berlinc@michigan.gov meeting, please email berlinc@michigan.gov
