Our doctor was strongly suggesting that we do not test since he has the vaccination on his record and since the trademark scar is there. She also said that since he was putting on weight so well that he showed no signs of TB. He was underweight when he came home, but packed on the pounds at a record pace with an american diet.
She said that he should never be tested with the skin test, only the x-ray.
Confused??? What do I do? Is there a more specialized skin test that we can do that won't be affected by the BCG or how long after the BCG do you wait??
We were also told by an adoption specialist doctor that the BCG is pretty effective against the more deadly forms of TB.
