TB skin test

(votes: 0)


Have you ever had a positive result and what did you have to do about it ??
Depends. Those with positive results are required to follow the CDC protocol for additional testing and possibly treatment. Someone who has a positive skin test yet was born overseas and had a BCG vaccine will be looked at a little differently than someone who was exposed to a patient with active TB.You can find a lot of answers here: http://www.cdc.gov/tb/topic/default.htm
