Doubts:

If a patient presents with fever, cough with sputum production, dyspnea, night sweats and was recently exposed to TB patient:

Best initial test is CXR.

If a patient returns from his visit to a place endemic with TB or was taking care of a TB patient, but has no symptoms and is afraid that he has contracted TB:

Best initial test is PPD.

Is that right?

Thanks
