A member asked:
When should i get tested after being exposed to tb?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tuberculosis: If you remain without symptoms you should be either skin tested or undergo a specialized test like Quantiferon on your blood. These, if positive, will show inactive TB and may suggest a need for INH to reduce the risk of future activation.
