my spouse got a RFE to get TB skin test done, since for us the doctor has only done the X-Ray (Negative).
I have heard that due to BCG vaccination or allergies, most people get the skin test as positive, but the X-Ray being negative confirms that TB infection is not present.
but in the below thread people have been talking about treatment.
DID ANYONE HAD TO UNDERGO TREATMENT, FOR POSITIVE SKIN TEST, EVEN IF X-RAY WAS NEGATIVE??

Treatment is supposed to be by pills which are extremely toxic, and hence will definitely damange the liver.
