    TB Test

    Any docs in the house right now? I just got back from 3 months in the Middle East and had a TB test done today to make sure I was ok. One of our guys that flew on Qatar Air.....tested positive.

    Usually after I have a TB test....I have a little red dot....but no welt. This time I have a big red (size of a quarter) welt. It's been a few hours. Could this mean I've been exposed?????
    1. Once a cheat always a cheat!
    2. YES, SHE can get pregnant the first time!
    3. NO, PULLING out IS NOT a RELIABLE method of Birth Control. DAMMMMIT..... Wrap that shyte UP!!

    Women over 30 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can get away with it.

    For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free". Here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage, why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire Pig, just to get a little sausage.

    From my experience in the health care field, what you have described would suggest you tested positive for TB.

    Thanks Johan...TB is Tuberculosis.

    I went in today and they said it was too soon to tell. There's only one border on the inflamation and it needs two to be measured. I dont care about me....I'm just worried Im contagious.

    I have to go back tomorrow and they will look at it then! GREAT!

    Barbie- I've had a TB test before as well and I could have swore it was supposed to swell up. If I remember correctly they put it in the forearm and it leaves a little bump under the skin. TB in Qatar....damn TCN's...

    Well that's good news anyway. Now at least you can breath a little easier. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

    Hmmm... it did sound positive, according to your description. Generally I think a 3cm induration is considered positive indication of exposure.

    Exposure does NOT mean you have contracted or will contract TB. It simply means your body has produced antibodies to the TB baccillus. This could be due to exposure to TB or to frequent TB skin tests, which can sensitize you as well.

    Next time you are offered, or required to receive, a TB skin test, be sure to tell the physician or other health care provider about your reaction to this one. They might decide that you should not be tested in the future.

    Love
    Anna
