Results: Among doctors, 1(2.8%) case of active disease was detected while inactive disease was found in 4(11.4%) subjects. Tuberculous infection rate was found to be 65.7%. Among nurses, 3(11.5%) were detected having active disease and 5(19.5%) inactive disease. Among nursing students, 4(20%) were suffering from active disease and 3(15%) inactive disease.
