First there is a skin test called IPPD which in approx 3 days if there is a reaction indicates TB. If that test is positive then a chest x-ray is performed to confirm the skin test. Regardless the treatment is typically 6 months of INH and B-6 taken by mouth daily. Also, if there is an active case of TB then respiratory isolation is typically the precaution.
