Abstract
We describe characteristics of US healthcare personnel (HCP) diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB). Among 64,770 adults with TB during 2010-2016, 2,460 (4%) were HCP. HCP with TB were more likely to be born outside of the United States, and less likely to have TB attributed to recent transmission, than non-HCP.
