HEPATITIS C COMMUNITY
positive PPD

positive PPD

Hello, I am wondering if anyone has information that can help us. My husband has HCV and was ready to start the interferon treatments. He was sent for a PPD test and it came back positive! Now we are being told he can't start the treatement until he is treated for latent TB. What is scaring me the most is that the treatment for latent Tb is 9 months of antibiotic use INR...which is toxic to the liver!  I cant find infomation to confirm or deny that he needs to take the antiboitic INR  first.
Thanks
Debbie
