If I took Budesonide and Montek LC in July, am I still considered to have a weakened immune system, and would a 5 mm bump on my TB skin test be counted as a positive result because of that past medication use?
Budesonide, especially when inhaled, has minimal systemic effects, and Montek LC does not suppress your immune system. Because you are not considered immunocompromised from these past medications, a 5 mm reaction on your tuberculosis skin test is typically considered negative, as a 10 mm or 15 mm result is usually required for healthy individuals. Please consult your healthcare provider so they can officially read and discuss your test results with you.
