I had positive result with the skin test for tb, but it was negative for the x-ray. do i get latent tb?

TB: Your physician will likely have also asked you a number of questions to help determine if you have latent TB or not. Although we usually think of TB going to the lungs, there is potential for it to affect other parts of the body.
