Mark McDonnell, Health Commissioner of Greene County Combined Health District and Dr. Herchline, GCCHD consulting TB physician, want to caution everyone that a positive tuberculosis skin test result does not mean that a person has active Tuberculosis Disease.  Positive skin test results are expected in one out of twenty tuberculosis skin tests.
