As a health screen, he needs a purified protein derivative (PPD) test and an HIV test. Three days later, the PPD site is indurated. He has never been given the Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine. Which of the following features would tend to argue against chemoprophylaxis with isoniazid?

A. Exposure to a patient with active tuberculosis
