Can anyone answer my question on TB testing? - time between tb tests
I recently found a job at a hospital in December and must take a two-step TB test. However, I am in nursing school at my university, after which the me to another test for tuberculosis. Is it wrong for me to continue to test for tuberculosis? Is there a certain amount of time between tests for TB? Just wondering.

There is no problem to repeat and repeat testing for tuberculosis, which have no chance of becoming ill.
Everything is a protein (PPD), which is part of the TB bacteria is injected under the skin. When the body responds to it, you get some local inflammation, and that means you have been exposed to TB in our (and still needs to be tested further).
Personally, I can once a year and then I had a patient who had taken the TB patient has ... If it proves to be 3-4 times per year.
A good person to ask would be your teacher in nursing. It seems that if you prove you had it already is and it's pretty new to them, you have no other.
No, it's no problem. When you say, on the other hand, it might cancel its own. But if you insist, do not worry.
