Second, blood can be given to check the tuberculosis antibody test, if the tuberculosis antibody is positive, it does not rule out the possibility that the patient has been infected with tuberculosis. Chest X-ray, the price is about 70 yuan, if you suspect that the lungs have more obvious tuberculosis infection foci, you need to further chest CT examination, the price is about 378 yuan. If students with fever, cough and blood in sputum come for TB screening, they need to be given a sputum test for antacid bacilli, which costs around 50 RMB, or for difficult TB screening, a blood test for T-cell detection of TB infection can be done, which costs around 600 RMB.
