I don't Know, but for me, Nurses Gave the Injection S. C. Instead of Intradermal, to See an Actual DTH Reaction, it Needs to Be Intradermal.

If you have a raised red area at the test site that would mean it is positive. That does not mean you have TB just that the test was positive.

You need to see if the area is raised. Redness can just be a localized reaction, and doesn't mean the PPD is positive.

The induration has to be measured, not the redness. It is measured transverse to the long axis of the forearm. It has to be at least 10mm. to be positive.
