2021-22 TB Questionnaire
Organization administering questionnaire Incarnate Word Academy
Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by TB germs and is usually transmitted by an adult person with active TB lung disease. It is
spread to another person by coughing or sneezing TB germs into the air. These germs may be breathed in by a person.
Adults who have active TB disease usually have many of the following symptoms: cough for more than two weeks duration, loss of
appetite, weight loss of ten or more pounds over a short period of time, fever, chills and night sweats.
A person can have TB germs in his or her body but not have active TB disease (this is called latent TB infection or LTBI).
Tuberculosis is preventable and treatable. TB skin testing (often called the PPD or Mantoux test) is used to see if you have been
infected with TB germs. NO vaccine is recommended for use in the United States to prevent tuberculosis. The skin test is not a
vaccination against TB.
We need your help to find out if you have been exposed to tuberculosis. All information obtained herein will be kept in strict
confidence.
