Infection16
  • The only evidence of infection may be a reaction to a tuberculin skin test. (cdc.gov)
  • The Mantoux test usually becomes positive 4-6 weeks after infection. (medicallabscientist.org)
  • The only sign of TB infection is a positive reaction to the tuberculin skin test or special TB blood test. (cancertherapyadvisor.com)
  • False positive reactions may occur in persons with infection with nontuberculosis mycobacteria, previous BCG vaccination, and incorrect TST method. (cancertherapyadvisor.com)
  • False negative reactions may occur in persons with cutaneous anergy, recent TB infection (within 8-10 weeks of exposure), very old TB infection (many years), recent live virus vaccination, overwhelming TB, and incorrect TST method. (cancertherapyadvisor.com)
  • IgG antibodies detected via CF become positive in 85-90% of patients by 3 months after infection onset, persist 6-8 months, and disappear as infection resolves. (medscape.com)
  • The likelihood that a positive tuberculin test represents a true infection with M. tuberculosis is influenced by the prevalence of infection in the population being tested. (antiinfectivemeds.com)
  • The ATS and CDC state that since the general population of the US has an estimated M. tuberculosis infection rate of 5-10% and the annual incidence of new tuberculosis infection without known exposure is estimated to be 0.01-0.1%, the tuberculin skin test has a low positive predictive value in individuals without a known or likely exposure to M. tuberculosis. (antiinfectivemeds.com)
  • In several randomized, controlled trials, isoniazid therapy for 6-12 months substantially reduced the incidence of clinical tuberculosis in patients with HIV infection who had induration reactions to tuberculin skin tests of 5 mm or greater. (antiinfectivemeds.com)
  • HIV infection contributes most to an increased risk of progression of latent tuberculosis infection to the active disease, and patients of any age with HIV infection who have an induration reaction of 5 mm or greater to the Mantoux tuberculin skin test should receive therapy for latent tuberculosis infection after excluding the presence of clinically active tuberculosis, unless such therapy is medically contraindicated. (antiinfectivemeds.com)
  • Also, contacts of persons with sputum-positive smears have an increased prevalence of infection as opposed to contacts of those with sputum-negative smears. (medscape.com)
  • For employees who are otherwise at low risk for TB and who are tested as part of an infection control screening program at the start of employment, a reaction of 15 mm is considered positive. (whatisflike.com)
  • A positive TB screening test result does not distinguish between TB infection and TB disease. (rch.org.au)
  • Latent TB infection (LTBI) refers to evidence of TB infection (i.e. a positive TB screening test) without evidence of TB disease (based on history, examination, CXR and other investigations as clinically indicated). (rch.org.au)
  • Positive tests sis is a recognized risk in health care facili- indicate past TB exposure or infection and ties. (who.int)
  • TB disease (defined as clinically active disease, often with positive smears and cultures) can develop soon after exposure to M. tuberculosis organisms (primary disease) or after reactivation of latent infection. (hiv.gov)

  • Former flu virus vaccines, using "live" viruses, produced too many serious, adverse reactions, so a new one had to be concocted. (fruit-powered.com)
Prevalence4
  • From November 2015, additional migration TB screening was introduced for children (if they: are applying for a Humanitarian or onshore protection visa OR from a high TB prevalence country OR declare previous household contact, using either interferon-gamma release assay IGRA or tuberculin skin test TST) with further investigation for TB if positive. (rch.org.au)
  • A 2020 meta-analysis of child and adolescent TB contacts found baseline prevalence of 34.7% positive screening tests and 1% active TB disease. (rch.org.au)

Redness3
  • The reaction is measured in millimetres of induration, not redness. (dftbskindeep.com)

  • In a healthy person whose immune system is normal, induration greater than or equal to 15 mm is considered a positive skin test. (whatisflike.com)
Vaccination3
  • There are different measures to define a positive result depending on patient background history (for example BCG vaccination) and there are also many causes of false positive and false negative results. (dftbskindeep.com)
  • A typical reaction following BCG vaccination is a red, indurated area at the injection site, which may ulcerate 2-3 weeks after vaccination. (dftbskindeep.com)
  • [ 6 ] However, the test has limitations, including precise intradermal administration, the need for a follow-up visit to interpret the results, specific criteria for interpretation of the results, and the possibility of false-positive results with Bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccination or other environmental mycobacteria.
