The only thing I could find re. Cellcept and Tuberculosis testing was that TB testing should be done before Cellcept is started.

Sorry that I couldn't be of more help!

Thanks, that is helpful! Perhaps I just won't take the Cellcept for a day or something . . . .I'm not so worried about a false negative since the chances of me having it are slim to none--I was more worried about allergic reactions or actually getting TB or something else from it since my immune system is suppressed.

Thanks again!
