Problem description: Husband Wang, my child is 16 years old. She is in the third grade of a private school. Their class has checked out 8 cases of tuberculosis pneumonia. The school gives the children a skin test. The cT chest radiographs were all inaccurately checked for infection and could not be diagnosed, but recently three other students were abnormal and suspected. Husband Wang, I would like to thoroughly check whether the child is infected with this tuberculosis bacterium or not with this tuberculosis. What kind of examination can be done to confirm the infection?
