Abstract

The case

A 27-year-old counselor from a community-based AIDS agency presents and requests a TB skin test. She is HIV positive and complains of a smoker's cough with no systemic symptoms. She has no known contact with an active case of TB but she knows that, in the past, people who have used the facility have been diagnosed with TB. She has not previously been skin tested.
