Rioja, a classic region of Spain, produces some of the best Tempranillo-based wines in the world, some ready to drink young, others spending years in barrel and bottle before hitting the shelves.
Testing & Diagnosis. There are two kinds of tests that are used to detect TB bacteria in the body: the TB skin test (TST) and TB blood tests. A positive TB skin test or TB blood test only tells that a person has been infected with TB bacteria. It does not tell whether the person has latent TB infection (LTBI) or has progressed to TB disease. Other tests, such as a chest x-ray and a sample of sputum, are needed to see whether the person has TB disease.
From infection to development of a positive TB skin test reaction (the incubation period) is approximately 2 to 12 weeks.The risk for developing active disease is the highest in the first two years after infection and development of a positive TB skin test reaction.fter an exposure to infectious tuberculosis, a TB skin test reaction of 5 mm induration or greater is considered positive. You will then be evaluated for signs and symptoms of active tuberculosis (cough lasting for more than three weeks, bloody sputum, fever, night sweats, weight loss, loss of appetite, fatigue).
