Ppd skin test to be positive, the typical pattern is for the initial PPDPositive ppd skin test
Ppd skin test to be positive. The PPDPositive ppd skin test
Ppd skin test may become negative over time. Most Indian born has this situation.
When we had our Medical exam done for our green card , the same thing happened.Both my husband and I had BCG vaccine when we were young in India. My husband got a negative in the PPD test and I got a positive. I had to take an Xray which came out negative.
The appointment with Pulminory specialist is just to rule out any other problems. So do not worry abt the outcome of the results of the test.

Regarding your day care, you hv to make the decision .

Hope this helps.
