Q: TB prevention/ treatment

[Guest guest]

Hello, all!

I'm a new doc (x3 weeks in practice)!! I've been reading all of your

posts for over a year and would appreciate some of your expertise and

guidance...

A 2-1/2 yo patient has been exposed to his daycare provider (5d/

week, 8 hr/d) and the day care provider was just hospitalized with

active TB. My 2 yo pt is being 'tested' (skin test, I think)

tomorrow to see if he's (+) and then they'd go to CXR. Currently, he

is experiencing no sxs. A few questions:

1. If he's positive, and has to go on Abx x 6mos, besides BTG's,

what can I do homeopathically (Tuberculinum, maybe) to support?

2. If he tests (-), should I do immune support anyway,

presumptively??

Thank you, all!
