Could TB Test Cause Grand Mal Seizure To 5 Year Old?
My 5 year old son went to the doctor for a physical, he recieved a tb test we were leaving the doctor and i put him in his car seat, he began to have a seziure. he has had seziures in the past but not like the one he had at the doctor. the seizure lasted for 25 mins. his normal seziures are absent, this one was a grand mal seizure. I want to know if the tb test could be the cause if the grand mal seizure? His weight is 41 lbs

Hi,
Thanks and welcome to healthcare magic.
As far as I know there is no reaction to TB testing and grandmal epilepsy.
If he suffers from TB meningitis he may go into seizures.
Hope this answer clears your doubt.
Please feel free to ask further queries if any.
