Latent TB is found when you have a positive reaction to a tuberculin skin test or blood test. Active TB is diagnosed by finding the TB-causing bacteria (acid fast bacilli) in a sputum sample (fluid from the lungs) or in samples from other parts of the body. Doctors sometimes use a chest X-ray to help diagnose active TB. Extrapulmonary TB is diagnosed by a biopsy and culture, CT scan, or MRI.
