A member asked:
Can i have a tb test with a cold?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The memory cells for TB are in the body and the test will still be valid if positive. The only problem are in people who have lower immune system but not quite bad enough to cause reactivation as they can develop anergy or false negative test.
