Dear Dr. Allen,

The tuberculin test given you on
was positive indicating that you have had exposure to
tuberculosis sometime in the past. Your record will be
kept on permanent file.

The X-ray taken to determine if there is any
evidence of active tuberculosis in the lungs has now
been read and the report is as follows:

The lungs are normal; there is no evidence
of adult type of tuberculosis.

Several people reported that after naving had
the test they noticed various symptoms of nausea, pain in
the chest, aching of the muscles or faintness, I can
assure you that none of these symptoms can be attributed to
the test. The only possible reaction from the tuberculin
test is localized swelling with some soreness of the arm at
the site of the injection and very rarely, some discomfort
up the under side of the upper arm.

Yours truly,

Le See
