That was the recommendation of my brother-in-law. He's an infectious disease doc in NC. Based on his advice, we declined permission. The big question for us is "Why is there this big influx of Tb?" We thought society said good riddance to that decades ago!

Some physicians in the US noticed a surge in Tb in the late 80's and earky 90's. Some conjecture was that the skin tests were not picking up the diseases (so false negatives led to missed diagnoses and more spread). Another suggestion was that the AIDS patients were spreading it around because Tb was in the AIDS population. Is HIV on the rise in the UK?
