Ditch chest x-ray for tuberculosis, researchers say
By Rebekah Moan
Tuesday, December 3 | 3:30 p.m.-3:40 p.m. | SSJ06-04 | Room S404CDScreening chest radiography among people with positive tests for asymptomatic purified protein derivative is a low-yield study for detecting active tuberculosis (TB), so it may be time to reconsider this universal recommendation, according to New York researchers.
