Question: What does a positive TB skin test look like!?
I got a TB test today!. I have a son in Preschool and he also got one!. You can't even tell where he got it at, but mine is a red circle the size of a nickle!. No bumps or anything, just pink!. I was wondering what a positive test looks like!?!? Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
A TB test is considered positive when the injection site develops an induration (bump) greater than 10 mm!. Redness alone does not indicate a positive test!. I too have developed redness after several TB tests, but I was told by the physician that read it that a positive test will have a bump that forms!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
