Hey, don't worry about the TB skin test, it's a very common and affordable test. Usually, it costs between 200 to 500 rupees at most diagnostic labs or clinics. It's a simple procedure, and you just need to get it checked after 48-72 hours. Everything will be fine!

I totally get why you'd ask about costs, it's always good to be prepared. A TB skin test, or Mantoux test, is generally quite affordable. Most places charge between 300 to 600 rupees for it. It's a routine test, so don't stress too much about the expense.

A TB skin test is pretty standard and affordable! 😊 You can usually get it done for around ₹300-₹600 at most clinics or labs. It's a small prick, and then you go back to get it checked. Super quick and easy! ✨

Ah, the TB skin test. It's a quick one. I've had it done before for different reasons. The cost is quite minimal, generally around 300-600 rupees. It's not a major expense at all, so just go ahead and get it done if your doctor has recommended it. Peace of mind is important.

The TB skin test (Mantoux test) is quite inexpensive. You can expect to pay between 250-600 rupees at any decent diagnostic center or clinic. It's a routine test, so just walk in and get it done. The results are read after 48-72 hours.

A TB skin test? Ah, one more jab, one more bill, haha! But no, this one is pretty cheap. I think it's usually around 300-500 rupees. They put a little something in your arm, and you go back in a couple of days. Simple enough, even for us oldies.
