A member asked:

Could my tuberculosis skin test still be read?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: The test is based on readings at 48 or 72 hours more or less. Any further delay changes the conditions by which the borderline tests are interpreted.A grossly positive test will be so large and reactive the site could be accepted as positive for days later, but a borderline or negative could not be established unless the time criteria was met.
