Screening for Latent & Active TB

Using this picture to talk with someone about the different kinds of tests we use to screen for TB:
So, this is just show you the tests we do when we’re screening for Latent TB. It’s usually the skin test and sometimes, but not often in Nunavik, a blood test.
When we screen for Active TB, it’s a bit different. Usually, we do X-rays or spit tests to determine if someone might have Active TB.
