Brief Answer:
Tb result is positive
Detailed Answer:
Hi again dear,
The result of the tuberculine test in your case is positive.
This means that you might have been exposed and infected to the TB-causing bacteria.
You can use cold compresses to relieve the inflammation at the injection site.
Meanwhile, I recommend to do a chest xray and a consult with a pneumologist for further evaluation and specific treatment.
Hope it helps dear.
Take care,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
