The TB skin test is also called the Mantoux tuberculin skin test (TST). A TB skin test requires two visits. On the first visit the test is placed; on the second visit the test is read.
The TB skin test is performed by injecting a small amount of fluid (called tuberculin) into the skin on the lower part of the arm. A person given the tuberculin skin test must return within 48 to 72 hours to have a trained health care worker look for a reaction on the arm.
