Best Answer

Tuberculosis (TB) is from the result of contracting an airborne droplet organism called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is not related to cigarette smoking unless you share a cigarette with someone that has Tuberculosis. The most accurate test for Tuberculosis is a simple skin test that can be done in any hospital or clinic setting and requires 72 hours to read the results. The testing requires 2 visits...the first to get a intradermal injection that feels like a bee-sting and then you return to get the "wheal" read, by touching the site, which is done by a licensed medical professional.
