446063
If you've been infected with Mtb, your skin around the site of the injection should start to swell and harden by 48 to 72 hours. This bump, or induration as it's referred to clinically, will also turn red. The size of the induration, not the redness, is used to determine your results.

Mantoux test It's also called the tuberculin skin test (TST). If you have a latent TB infection, your skin will be sensitive to PPD tuberculin and a small, hard red bump will develop at the site of the injection, usually within 48 to 72 hours of having the test.

An allergic reaction can cause a lot of swelling and pain at the site. A sore may be present. You cannot get a TB infection from the tuberculin skin test, because no live bacteria are used for the test.

Neither tuberculin skin testing nor IGRA testing is sufficiently sensitive to rule out TB infection. Approximately 20% of patients with active TB, particularly those with advanced disease, have normal PPD test results.

People who were previously vaccinated with BCG may receive a TB skin test to test for TB infection. Vaccination with BCG may cause a false positive reaction to a TB skin test. A positive reaction to a TB skin test may be due to the BCG vaccine itself or due to infection with TB bacteria.

The BCG vaccine protects against tuberculosis, which is also known as TB. TB is a serious infection that affects the lungs and sometimes other parts of the body, such as the bones, joints and kidneys.

['The TB skin test is performed by injecting a small amount of fluid (called tuberculin) into the skin on the lower part of the arm.', 'A person given the tuberculin skin test must return within 48 to 72 hours to have a trained health care worker look for a reaction on the arm.']
1415823
If the area of skin where you received the PPD injection isn't swollen or is only slightly swollen 48 to 72 hours after the injection, the test results are negative. A negative result means that you most likely haven't been infected with the bacteria that cause TB.

Studies of HDCV recipients reported local reactions (e.g., pain at the injection site, redness, swelling, induration) among 60-89.5% of recipients. Most local reactions were mild and resolved spontaneously within a few days.
182875
Injection site pain, injection site pruritus and injection site discomfort. Injection site erythema or injection site rash (without induration) occurring within 12 hours of testing. These reactions do not indicate TB infection.
