<s>[INST] Should I get tested for TB?  [/INST] You should get tested for TB if:

You have spent time with a person known or thought to have infectious TB disease.
You were born in or frequently travel to countries where TB disease is common, including Mexico, the Philippines, Vietnam, India, China, Haiti, and Guatemala, and other countries where TB is common.
You currently live, used to live, or are employed in a large group setting where TB is more common, such as a homeless shelter, prison, jail, or nursing home.
You are a health care worker who cares for patients with TB disease.
You are part of a population that is more likely to have latent TB infection (LTBI) or TB disease, including people who don’t have good access to health care, have lower income, or misuse drugs or alcohol.
In addition, children, especially those under 5, have a higher risk of developing TB disease once infected. Therefore, testing for TB infection in children who may have been exposed to a person with TB disease is important. Source: CDC. Link: https://www.cdc.gov/tb/publications/faqs/tb-qa.htm.
