  Annex 2. Tuberculin skin testing: administration, reading and interpretation
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Administration
  
  
  Tuberculin skin testing (TST) is a key method for
  diagnosing latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). Proper administration is crucial
  to ensure accurate results. The following are the steps for administering
  TST:
  
  
  
  1. **Equipment**: Use a sterile lancet or needle to prick the derma of the forearm.
  
  
  
  2. **Procedure**: Administer 0.1 mL of tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD) intradermally.
  Ensure the injection is done at a 90-degree angle to avoid hematoma formation.
  
  
  3. **Patient Preparation**: Inform the patient about potential side
  effects, such as erythema, induration, or swelling, which
  typically resolve within a few days.
  
  
  4. **Documentation**: Record all administration details, including the date,
  time, and location of the test on the patient’s medical record.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Reading
  
  
  After administration, carefully observe the skin at the injection site for signs of
  a reaction within 48-72 hours.
  
  
  
  1. **Expected Reaction**: A firm, raised rash (erythema) with induration indicates a positive result, indicating exposure to Mycobacterium
  tuberculosis.
  
  
  2. **Negative Result**: No visible reaction suggests the absence of LTBI.
  
  
  
  3. **Interpretation**: A positive TST result should be confirmed
  by chest X-ray and treatment guidance if necessary.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Recording
  
  
  Accurate recording of TST results is essential for diagnosis
  and follow-up care:
  
  
  
  - Document the presence, size, and duration of
  any reaction.
  - Note any necrosis or scarring at the test site.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Interpretation
  
  
  The interpretation of TST results should be performed by a qualified healthcare provider in the context of the patient’s exposure history and clinical assessment:
  
  
  
  1. **Positive Result**: Indicates possible LTBI; further evaluation and treatment recommended.
  
  
  
  2. **Negative Result**: Rules out active TB infection but does not exclude LTBI, as some individuals may have a subclinical response.
