LOVE your videos!
very helpful lectures..
Excellent dr Paul 👍👌
Thank you Dr. Bolin for such high quality content. These videos helped me get through nurse practitioner school. I wanted to mention that additional treatment option for LTBI also include rifampin for 6 months or ripamitin plus INH for 3 months. At what point would you have a patient with TB or suspected TB complete a quantiferon TB or monospot test?
Dang autocorrect! I meant rifapetine plus INH for 3 months as treatment for LTBI
Thank you Dr Bolin, nice lecture! Short and sweet.
The most accurate test in our practice is GeneXpert / RIF essay

What we should do if pt multiple received BCG in during his life, and PPD positive then he did IGRA (which is MORE specific) which was negative; No symptoms, CXR normal. Does he still needs to be treated from LTB? Regarding official documents as

Firstly, it possible to use other screening tests as the QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-GIT) assay or the T-SPOT.TB assay . Both tests are approved by Health Canada and the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
And, statistically only 90% of LTB convert to Active form of TB, but the risk of adverse effect INZ higher then benefit as hepatotoxicity.
Can you explain this situation. Thanks
