Complicated: For starters, if your PPD is positive, you have either been previously have been exposed to tuberculosis or could have active disease. It also sounds like you are hepatitis + , you need to know what type of hepatitis (a, b, c, or non-a non-b) and whether you are currently positive or just have evidence of past infection. See your doctor. Positive hep and PPD are not due to autoimmune or allergies.
