Q. Hi, my 3 year old son had a close contact with a TB patient. Doc conducted many tests for him - Mantoux test, blood tests and chest xrays all look normal for him. But even then the pediatrician advised to start chemo prophylaxis for 6 months - medication isocaldin retort syrup. Is this actually needed when he’s negative for all TB related tests.
