I'm in Minnesota - my clinic handles it for me. My county has a large immigrant population as well as a DHS detention center in our jail, so a lot of TB. It always needs to be ruled out first, otherwise it would probably go to NJH immediately.

How often are you sending a culture? I am sending it every 4 months now and the colony count is all over the place from as high as 200 to a low of 5. So far they have not suggested treatment and I am praying they don't. Luckily, I do not have any symptoms.
