Requires TB testing: Today many of the tuberculosis bacteria infecting people have become resistant to the drugs that are commonly used. It won't help you to use these drugs if your bacteria are indeed resistant. So, your bacteria must be tested for the best drug choice to be made. Usual treatment involves more than 1 drug at a time, unless it is just to treat a positive skin test today. Good luck.
