What do you suggest if my previous tb skin test while negative while current is positive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need care!: Your TB test has turned positive - this is very significant. The guidelines are very clear what needs to happen now with further diagnostic studies, including chest x-ray, and then treatment. If your primary care doctor is not comfortable caring for TB, see infectious disease or pulmonary specialist ASAP to begin evaluation and care. There are great ones in Columbus area - call for appointment now
