What is the best tb test and does it hurt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sputum: To check for active pulmonary tb, sputum stain and culture is an easy and painless way to test. Sometimes a blood test or a skin test are needed. They involve a needle stick. In certain cases a bronchoscopy, and/or a biopsy are needed.
