if the test came back positive no you do not have to take it again ever. and no you don't have TB that just shows that you have been exposed to it. yes it will come back positive every time. in my case it is negative until i came around someone with it. from that point on the antibodies will be in my system and will always say positive. you should have just told the nurse or whoever the test was required for that you have been exposed and you do not need another. it will be in your records just show it to your employer.

Yes you can take blood tests. You may have to get a referal from your regular doctor, but you should see a allergist. They take little samples of lots of foods and other things and prick it into your arms (both arms) and which evers gets swollen and itchy after 10-15 minutes, you are allergic to. It is very cool, i have gotten it down twice.

You should be having regular sputum cultures, the acid fast bacilli that cause TB can be very difficult to treat so regular follow ups to your physician is a must

I'm not a Dr. but I believe that it is negative because is says no dna from the M.tuberculosis complex was detected.  The sensitivity tells that the test should detect it with a 95% accuracy. The note just tells which method of testing should be done.  At least that is what I would make out of it.  Why can't they just give a straight negative or positive.  It would make things much easier wouldn't it?

You mean tuberculosis lymphadenitis, an inflammation of the lymph glands caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis.  It is a TB that is outside the lungs.  TB is primarily a respiratory disease and is spread through droplet infection (sneezing, coughing).  If you belive you have been exposed to an active case, you will need to see your doctor for a Mantoux test (sometimes called a PPD).  It's a skin test using a purified protein derivative (PPD) with the results read 48-72 hours later. If you are the one with TBL, and I certainly hope you're not, you should be on a medication "cocktail" and in isolation (hopefully in a negative pressure room in a hospital).

You probably shouldn't worry, especially if you didn't break the skin, (but if it has been more than ten years since you've gotten a tetanus shot, then you should get another, just to be on the safe side).\n\nThere is a chance that you could get tetanus and the chance is 1-2%.  Not huge, but hey, somebody's gotta make up that 1-2% or it wouldn't be there.  It helps if your immune system's in order and working correctly.

I was diagnosed with TB three years ago at the age of 16, I only had inactive TB but I worked very closely with my local health department and was treated and cured after taking INH for 9 months. If I were you I would try to contact your local health department and also check out the AMerican Lung Associations website because they havee alot of good information on it. I hope that all goes well for you and that your son makes it through, I know how you are feeling not knowing how or why. Another important aspect is to figure out where he contracted it so that you can contact others who your son may have come in contact with to have them tested. I contracted it at a job and would have never known about it if I hadnt left that job and started one at a facility that tested for TB, if not it could have come back and started 20 years done the road. GOD BE WITH YOU

The government keeps a list of clinical trials on the website below. \n\nShe will most likely need a diagnosis from a dermatologist or other specialist first. \n\nShe could have psoriasis, lupus, scleroderma, or other disorders. Here are a few links.

According to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, TB skin testing is safe during pregnancy and there is no reason to delay the test.\n\nhttp://www.med.umich.edu/ehs/tbfaq.htm\n\nTuberculin skin testing is considered valid and safe throughout pregnancy. However, testing with QuantiFERON®-TB and QuantiFERON®-TB Gold has not been evaluated for diagnosing M. tuberculosis infection in pregnant women.\n\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/nchstp/tb/pubs/tbfactsheets/250160.htm
