Tuberculosis Questions?!
Question: Tuberculosis Questions!?
I asked my doctor last week about a tiny chance I'd been exposed to TB (but not for over 8 hours) and he said I should be fine if I'd had the BCG and had a scar from it!. Well I said yes I do and never showed him the scar since I was in the doctors for a different reason!. But looking at my scar, it's small and barely noticeable!. Just a little purple/white swirl!. Is this "enough" to count as a scar!?
Also, what difference does having a scar make!?
And with the heaf test, if it swells up AFTER 3 days and it's been checked!.!. what does that mean!? (that isn't for me but for someone else)
Thanks for any information!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
You'll be fine!. The test results (swelling after 3 days) indicates that you carry antibodies against the disease!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
