Within 48 to 72 hours, a positive TB skin test is marked by an area of reddish induration greater than 10 mm. It is the induration (firm bump) that is gently palpated that determines the size, not the area of redness. This reaction is slightly larger than the average positive test 17 mm in size.
The skin test reaction should be read between 48 and 72 hours after administration by a health care worker trained to read TST results. A patient who does not return within 72 hours will need to be rescheduled for another skin test. The reaction should be measured in millimeters of the induration (firm swelling).
Youll then return to your provider within 48 to 72 hours so that they can look for a reaction on your arm where they injected the fluid. Firm swelling and redness at the site may indicate a TB infection. Its important to go to your second appointment to get an official result.
A positive TB skin test will look like a firm, red bump. Your provider will measure the size of the firmness of the bump (induration). Your provider considers your particular risk factors to determine the results of your test.

The TST is an intradermal injection of 0.1 ml of tuberculin (PPD) on the inner surface of the forearm. The skin test reaction should be read between 48 and 72 hours after administration.
This test is usually done on the arm. A small needle is used to put some testing material, called tuberculin, under the skin. In two or three days, a health worker will check to see if there is a reaction to the test. The test is positive if a bump about the size of a pencil eraser or bigger appears on your arm.
How is the TST Administered? The TST is performed by injecting 0.1 ml of tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD) into the inner surface of the forearm. The injection should be made with a tuberculin syringe, with the needle bevel facing upward. The TST is an intradermal injection.
