What is a Tuberculosis Skin Test?

A tuberculosis (TB) skin test, also known as the Mantoux tuberculin skin test, is a diagnostic tool used to determine if someone has been exposed to the TB bacteria. It involves injecting a small amount of tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD) into the skin of the forearm and examining the injection site after 48-72 hours. The reaction measured at the site can help identify TB exposure and assess the need for further testing or treatment.
