**hi, im 30 yrs old, and i had my mantoux test 72 hours ago.as pre-employment requirements on my job..The reading of induration is around 12 to 15mm.My GP dr. says, yes its positive, but it doesnt mean that i have TB, could it be my reaction to the tuberculin, coz i have no other signs or symptoms as like active TB has.
**also, how many weeks will this erythema and swelling ( induration) will disappear? any measures to be done? or it will just fade away by its own, coz its painful , too.
*** also the mantoux test is done on my both arms ( one on left) ( one on right) is it safe?
please.. im worried..
