group and found out about the alternate test. I'm not sure that the

state would accept this, but if they do, where would I go about trying to

find out who can test it. Since it needs to be tested within 12 hrs

of drawing the blood it would obviously have to be local. I live in

Kansas.

Actually, you have more time than 10hours. According to the CDC, it's 8-30 hours, depending on which blood test you get: (http://www.cdc.gov/tb/publications/factsheets/testing/IGRA.htm)

However, they do recommend the skin test over the blood test for under age 5, so that might be an issue for the 2 year-old. And it doesn't show if you've presently got TB. But you don't need to mention that. Let them look it up.

Here's what I would do: get the blood tests done ASAP so you know what the results are before pushing for it. Hopefully they will be good. Print this out: (http://www.cdc.gov/tb/publications/factsheets/testing/skintesting.htm) which shows there are false-negative and false-positive results with skin tests.

Then present that along with the test results, and confidently tell them you've already covered this and stun them with what proactive parents you are.

What about the TB skin scratch test? I took this one rather than the chest X ray. Course, it may be very dangerous too.. I'm curious what is thought about the scratch test.

The mantoux tuberculin skin test contains carbolic acid, phenol and tb proteins. I do not want anything injected into me. ~ Maureen R. Gradvohl ~ From: Faeborn <faeborn60@...> "Vaccinations " <Vaccinations > Sent: Monday, February 27, 2012 4:59 AM Subject: Re:

Isn't the scratch test the same as the TB test? Isn't it when they inject the supposedly inactive TB under the skin? That is what I am trying to avoid. I'll let Sherri confirm this though. From: Faeborn <faeborn60@...> "Vaccinations " <Vaccinations > Sent: Monday, February 27, 2012

all TB tests contain TB material

It is a little confusing because of the different names

Not sure what you mean by a scratch test

There is the tine - a small button like thing with tiny little needles on

or there are the ones injected just under the skin with a

syringe/needle

TB tine test

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tine_test

TB PPD or Mantoux test

http://www.drugs.com/mmx/tuberculin-purified-protein-derivative.html

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantoux_test

http://www.cdc.gov/tb/topic/testing/default.htm

hope that helps
