Is it okay to get a PPD?

My new CLL specialist said to be careful of shots; I know a TB test isn't exactly a shot, but he also said that my immune system isn't what it should be. Thanks.

I had a CLL friend years ago that had a PPD and it was false positive... your CLL doctor should advise you on this....

Hi mjc!

No live vaccines.

TB... you must specialist advice. The exact formulation is important too.

Take care, be sure!

Hmm, interesting. My client required that I get tested or they would terminate my contract. I think next spring they'll probably want me to get tested again. Good to know.

If you have had a chest x Ray ot CT scan of the chest, that covers you. If you've ever had a positive reaction to the skin test you will always test positive and have to have an x Ray. I fall in that group.
