Abstract
A checklist for individuals to see if they may need a test for TB. The checklist has 3 questions: *Were you born in or have you lived in a country (for over a month) where TB is common? This includes anywhere in Africa, Asia, Mexico, Central or South America, the Caribbean or Eastern Europe. *Have you lived with or spent time with someone who has had TB? *Do you have HIV/AIDS, diabetes, or kidney disease? Are you an organ transplant recipient or do you take medication that weakens your immune system?Publisher:
