The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) requires that all immigrants and refugees coming to the United States be screened for tuberculosis (TB). CDC’s Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ) develops the TB Technical Instructions, which are guidelines for physicians who conduct these screenings. These screening requirements, known as the TB Technical Instructions, focus on testing and treating immigrants and refugees.
