How do you give a tb skin test?

I was researching this for my visa application, and it is also called the Mantoux test. The nurse injects a tiny amount of fluid just under the top layer of skin on your forearm, which creates a small bump. You have to go back to the clinic after 48 to 72 hours so they can measure the bump to see if it's positive.

Humare yahan sarkari hospital mein ye test bahut aasan tareeqe se kar dete hain. Ek choti si sui lagate hain haath par aur fir do din baad bulakar naapte hain ki sujan kitni hai. Aap tension mat lijiye, bahut aam aur sasta test hai.

This test is done by a trained nurse, so do not try to understand or do anything yourself. Just like we go for our regular blood pressure and sugar screenings, this is a standard test to check for exposure. Go to a proper clinic and let them administer it safely.

A healthcare professional must perform this test; they inject a small liquid under your forearm skin and read it after 2-3 days.

For people with diabetes, keeping track of any infections is vital since our immunity can be slightly lower. The TB skin test is very simple and doesn't require any fasting or diet changes. Just make sure the injection site is kept clean and dry until the doctor checks it.
