positive mantoux, child care center…HELP!!!!?
Question by LeAnn S: positive mantoux, child care center…HELP!!!!?
I have a history of negative mantoux tests, decades. In mid-August I had a negative mantoux, and then last week I had a mantoux test for another job. I had immediate intense itching, eyes burning, scratchy, developed hives on my neck on the car ride home. I have gone to an infectious disease dr, they did AFB cultures, when can I get the results? My current job, started in September is at a daycare center, w/ +/-100 children and >100 families involved. Employees are not required to have mantoux tests in child care centers in MN. I am very concerned someone is spreading TB at the child care center, but the health dept. is not!! I have had very little contact with anyone other than the children and employees there. Kids (some adopted from russia, india, etc)and adults have been coughing since I started working there. Was it the allergic reaction that caused the positive TB test, or a booster effect, or? If you have kids in child care centers, make sure all workers are screened!!
It was a transdermal PPD Mantoux, not a multi-pronged test. Induration measured 22 X 21 mm. Adopted children from foreign countries are cleared by a physician in that country, not the U.S. MN is a state that no longer screens children, uless there are symptoms that would indicate the test. There are many symptoms of TB, but most common are cold symptoms and a cough that lasts greater than 2 – 3 weeks, sometimes blood streaked, fatigue, night sweats, low fever. How many times do you think doctors see children with cold symptoms? It’s just a cold, right?
Just because there is medication available that could hopefully kill it off, should we not try to prevent the spread of the disease? I had two mantoux tests within that time 1.) for a state license I needed, and 2.) for a new job that required it within 30 days of hire. False positives are possible from a booster effect, go to your favorite search engine and type in “tuberculosis booster effect.”
Many misconceptions w/TB.

How come you have so many tests? As far as I know, a positive means one of two things : You have the decease in an advanced stage, or you were expose to it. In your case, must be the last one.

aid for a sex offender?
Question by JanaJana: aid for a sex offender?
This kid I know has been institutionalized throughout his whole life and has been diagnosed with bipolar, antisocial, and many other illnesses of the mind. He meets this fifteen year old girl who starts to date him (he’s eighteen) for his money and rides. He loses his job and she doesn’t want to date him anymore because of that so she goes to her mom and tells her about it. He goes to jail gets back out and she is after him again because he has a job. He gets back with her (she’s now sixteen) and he gets in trouble again. She has his baby and since he is a sex offender… he will never see it.
Now he can’t get any work or financial aid. Since he is an orphan and mentally challenged he is at an even bigger disadvantage. SSI has been denying him and he says he hasn’t been able to get any aid. He resides in NY state. He spoke to his parole officer about not being able to find any work and he said that is his problem. He is supposed to see a psychiatrist but can’t.
Can anything be done?
On a side note, I think that our justice system is terrible. Protecting children should be a priority. That is true, but should we disable people from becoming productive members of society by stripping them of their livelihood. Should we make it so that the only form of livelihood that they would be able to obtain would be through criminal organizations or drugs or even homelessness?
I think I can speak to this issue being someone who has suffered from sexual abuse by a family member as a child and knowing this person from elementary school and knowing his disabilities he has had throughout his life.

Answer by Beez
Sounds like they both need therapy. Is he to the point he could qualify for Social Security disability? It’s a hassle, but if he can justify his mental issues, he should receive benefits.

Best answer:
Answer by Benzino
residential drug treatment facilities are all diferent but there are 2 main models of treatment out there there is the 12 step based model where the program runs around an alcoholics anonymous style of the 12 steps and patients are encouraged to surrender to their addiction, find a higher power, make ammends to whom they have harmed, goto aa meeting for the rest of their lives, and there is a counselling and informational type model where patients are encouraged to talk to eachother about their problems, find out why they are using drugs, what they can do to stop and find out who they are inside but mainly its A LOT OF GROUP TALKING i feel statements, and learning to live a drug free life when they get out looking at things like triggers of use, relapse prevention p[lanning, and peer support
