Positive PPD Test

[@aqilahbadr8625]

Hi, thanks for the video. 3 weeks ago got Mantoux test, 48 hours on dot, mine was totally ok. No bump no redness, completely clear. But after 48 hours around 8 hours after that, it turned red and a little bump, very2 unnoticeable bump, i got checked n they told me to do sputum test but i dont have bad cough n ive tried to cough up phlegm but none. Im totally worried. Ive been trying to cough up phlegm for 2 weeks now and i asked them if there's any way to get it check other than sputum test but they told me that sputum test the most reliable. Please help me, should i just go to other clinic to get different opinions?

[@harirjama]

[@kalkomsksikru]

I got ppd skin test and it has a weird looking bump. I am positive so I forgot to ask my doctor what to do to remove this? There’s like a pimple filled with water and fluid is coming out of it and it is itchy and painful. Help! Can I pop it out? 😂

[@sumayarahmanmim5759]

so 15 mm is healthy?

[@pratikparajuli6167]

no it means , on an otherwise healthy individual if ppd comes out > 15 , the test is positive ( i.e there is current infection or past exposure to tb ) but lets say the person is not healthy and is immunocompromised , their body cannot mount the immune response as much as a healthy individual so even 5 mm is considered positive/significant
