I need help with this question: Will give 10 pnts for the best answer. Thank you.?


A patient with HIV tests negative for tuberculosis according to the Mantoux skin test but exhibits many of the symptoms of the disease. Is it still possible that she has tuberculosis? If so, how can you find out?

Yes, HIV-infected people are more susceptible to TB infection. But because of their immune deficiency, the skin test may not react even if they are infected with TB. They would need further tests such as a chest x-ray or sputum examination.
