I did not have tb skin test before, but my x-ray (within a year) shows fine results. Does anybody know if x-ray good result is enough for medial report, or I have to take the tb skin test? Thank you!

FYI - No doctor will directly do a xray without PPD[skin test]. Also having a +ve PPD is no big deal as long as x-ray shows u dont have TB.kriskish said:Hi JPRE,
By god sake dont take skin test. Even if the rash is 2 or 3mm you have to go for xray again. My wife took skin test and she tested +ve. The case went to CDC and we have wasted two days on this. Finally they agreed on xray results. This happened last week with my wife. Go for xray.
Thanks
