right o scarlett that was the mantoux test novi or also called tuberculin test. if your skin shows a induration of more than 16 mm they put on you a clinical diagnosis of TB and start anti tuberculin treatment .

do it right - the first time!

they can't xray because of the pregnancy..but they can give you the TB injection and check for a positive reaction.

They ask if you're pregnant before they do the x-ray but I don't know what happens if you say "yes".
