What's done for a positive ppd test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: That depends on your age, other health conditions, and whether you recently went from having a negative PPD to a positive one. In some cases, we treat with a 9 month course of isoniazid, or a shorter course of Isoniazid and rifapentine, to eliminate the latent bacteria.
