Why Did I Test Positive For TB Even If I Have No Symptoms?

Hi i went on monday to have a shot for TB , because i am currently working with toddlers so when i saw the doctor today, she told me that the results its positive, so she sent me to have an X-RAY i am not having none of the symptons about TB. I AM VERY WORRIED, since i don t have fever etc...... the only thing the doctor said, that i was expose to TB, i will have to wait until monday next week , for results of X-RAY What do you suggest? i will appreciate your feed back A.S.A.P

Well only x ray tests can.confirm.everything. one possibility is if.u were ever exposed to someone suffering from or a carrier of TB you might.have.contracted. for example. Most ppl in second and third world Countries usuall have TB strain . But they are dormant. And.might manifest if their immunity is compromised
