Do you do T.B. tests?

No.  Please contact your physician or you may call the Health Department at (781) 784-1500 x1206 for area resources. Mass DPH discourages TB testing of low risk persons. As with many other diagnostic tests, the TST and IGRA are neither 100% sensitive nor 100% specific. A positive TB test in persons at low risk for TB infection is unlikely to represent true TB infection. Targeted TB testing of persons at high risk will increase the predictive value of these TB tests. More information is available at Mass.gov.
