A member asked:
Can you get a tb skin test done while you are sick? it started off as my allgeries and sinus that turned into a cold
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A upper respiratory infection will not change the result of a Tb test. It is probably best to stay home and wait until it passes so you don't infect co workers. Any time you have a fever you are infectiious and can spread a virus. In life though work doesn't always give us a chance to rest and get better. Use your best judgement.
