[quote=Anonymous]The TB vaccine is given in many countries ouside of US for childern as one of preventive vaccines.However that will cause the TB skin test to be positive even though the person does not have a TB. That causes a big misunderstanding in US thinking that the person has TB beacuse the test came positive which is actually due to the vaccine that was provided in childhood. These people should not be on medictation unless the Xray reveals an active TB. The skin test is not acurate for thsoe that have been given teh vaccine in thier life time but in US some doctors enforce that these people have to be on mdeication which I belive is a total misunderstanding. So please calm down ,most of the confusion comes from there.[/quote]
