Can you have TB with normal Xray?

Conclusions: Culture-positive pulmonary TB with a normal CXR is not uncommon, and the incidence of this presentation is increasing. Patients with this presentation of TB are typically symptomatic and/or are detected by contact tracing to infectious cases of pulmonary TB.

Does latent TB show up on TB test?

What is the difference between TB and PPD?

What is positive PPD test?
