Is a >5mm PPD considered positive in an 20 y/o asthmatic patient on flovent? Doens't seem right to have them in the same catergory as HIV and transplant patients... but I belive that anyone on chronic steroid therapy will be read as + if >5mm.... still doesn't sound right for a 20 y/o with no other comorbities beside asthma. Any thoughts?
