Latent TB

Posted by linpvc @linpvc, May 9 10:49am

Hi, I'm wondering what test one must have to detect Latent TB. I was diagnosed with it as a child, was never treated for it. I have several granulomas/ nodules. wondering if these nodules are related so I've asked for my doctor to test me for Latent TB. Any information about Latent TB, related granulomas, treatment, testing, etc would be appreciated. thank you
