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.
Do not measure erythema (redness). The indurated area should be measured across the forearm (perpendicular to the long axis). Health care workers (HCWs), patients, or their family members should not be allowed to record their own TST results.
2.1 Registered Nurses/Registered Psychiatric Nurses/Graduate Nurses/can administer and read Tuberculin/Mantoux Skin Test upon a physician's order.
Positive skin test: This means the person's body was infected with TB bacteria. Additional tests are needed to determine if the person has latent TB infection or TB disease. Negative skin test: This means the person's body did not react to the test, and that latent TB infection or TB disease is not likely.
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).

The test is "positive" if there is a bump of a certain size where the fluid was injected. This means you probably have TB germs in your body. Most people with a positive TB skin test have latent TB infection. To be sure, your doctor will examine you and give you a chest x-ray.
Positive skin test: This means the person's body was infected with TB bacteria. Additional tests are needed to determine if the person has latent TB infection or TB disease. Negative skin test: This means the person's body did not react to the test, and that latent TB infection or TB disease is not likely.
If you miss the second doctor visit, you'll have to wait at least 7-10 days for another skin test. The doctor who administered the test should be the one to read the TB test results. Traditionally, the results are read as positive or negative. Nowadays, the doctor needs to know the size of the reaction in millimeters.
Doctors should read skin tests 48-72 hours after the injection. The basis of the reading of the skin test is the presence or absence and the amount of induration (localized swelling). A negative test does not always mean that a person is free of tuberculosis.
Imaging tests If you've had a positive skin test, your doctor is likely to order a chest X-ray or a CT scan. This might show white spots in your lungs where your immune system has walled off TB bacteria, or it might reveal changes in your lungs caused by active tuberculosis.
