TB Skin Test. Urgent question.

[Kamalhasan]

My skin test seems to be positive (will be meeting doctor this afternoon). It is measuring 8 mm by 9 mm this morning. Is this normal for Indians? ANy body has same results? If they did what did they do?

Thanks
Kamal

don\'t worry. mine was positive too. i believe most asian people do. you will have to take x-ray. If

Do you remember how big was your spot?

i think at least 1cm. but it doesn\'t matter. IT WAS +.

but wife also had TB desease 10 years ago. but was cured. her skin test is positive too. but x-ray is ok. we have filed 485.

So don\'t worry. Just sit tight and get a x-ray soon.
