[|Human|] My son, 2 years old, had a contact with Active Tuberculosis Patient for around 15 days. At that time, treatment for TB was not started because the disease diagnosed later. He got BCG vaccination at birth. My doctor suggests that a Chest X-Ray & Mantoux Test for checking. Is it all right? What other action should I do in this regard?
[|AI|]  Hi....your pediatrician is right. Your kid needs to have a Manitou test and a Chest X-ray done. This is the routine protocol for any kid who is less than 5 years who come into contact with an active TB patient. I to suggest you go ahead with the same and get back to your pediatrician. But only once important suggestion is that - the Manitou test has to be done at the strength of 1 or 2 TU and not at 5TU. Higher TU will result in false positive results. Regards -
