About the Test:

• The Mantoux tuberculin skin test is one method of determining if you are infected with tuberculosis.
• A small amount of fluid, called tuberculin, is injected under the skin of your forearm. You must return 48-72 hours later to have the Public Health Nurse look at the injection site to check for a reaction. This nurse is able to tell if you have been exposed to tuberculosis.
• If you do not return at the scheduled time you will need to reschedule and pay for another skin test.
• If the TB skin test is positive you will be referred to your doctor with instructions for additional evaluation.
