Hope, I get that too. It is sort of funny but very strange. I had a single mastectomy so I have one natural breast & nipple and one implant reconstructed breast with no nipple. (I replied to this post because the itching problem happens to some of us whether we've had reconstruction or not).
If it has been many years since a person was infected with TB, his or her initial skin test may be negative, because of waning immunity. Subsequent tests may be positive, however, because the initial tuberculin placement stimulates the immune response to the test.
The tuberculosis (TB) blood test, also called an Interferon Gamma Release Assay or IGRA, is a way to find out if you have TB germs in your body. The TB blood test can be done instead of a TB skin test (Mantoux). âpositiveâ TB blood test result means you probably have TB germs in your body. Most people with a positive TB blood test have latent TB infection. To be sure, your doctor will examine you and do a chest x-ray.
