大概还有兄弟姐妹要测,说说我的经历,给大家参考。
星期一做的皮试,今天去看结果,医生量了肿块的大小,直径8mm,然后说要跟我谈一谈,呵呵,我觉得不妙,赶紧问她是阳性还是阴性,她说是阳性,但是她又跟我说了,因为我来自中国,那肯定打过BCG Vaccine,所以阳性的结果有可能是因此而来的,为了确定究竟有没有感染,要和我的医生谈过之后,做进一步检查。
想想大不了就是检查呗,就安下心等她给我的医生打电话,结果她们俩说了一会,我的医生告诉她我这个该算阴性,最后还是填了阴性。
下面是我找到的有关说明:
What does a negative result mean?
It can mean that the person has not been infected with TB germs.
or
It can mean that the person was tested too soon after breathing in the germs. It takes a number of weeks after becoming infected by the germ for the body to react to the skin test. If this happens, the test will have to be repeated again after 3 months.
It can mean that the person's body defenses are weakened and unable to react to the skin test, even though he/she is infected. When this happens, another type of test is given.
Sometimes, the person with a negative skin test may be given medicine to take as a preventive measure if he/she has spent or is spending a lot of time near someone who has TB.
What does a positive result mean?
It means that TB germs are in the body. Although the person is infected by TB germs, it does not mean that he/she has TB disease.
