Latent tuberculosis (TB) is a disease which affects your lungs. It is easily spread from person to person in the air and can be very harmful if you develop “active TB.” If your skin test was TB positive, it is likely that your doctor will have you take a medication to help prevent you from developing “active” TV in the future. The Pharmacies at USC can help you understand the risks and benefits of taking this medication.
