Is it safe to have numerous tb skin tests? i've had 6 in the last 6 months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tb testing: Why would you have 6 TB tests in 6 months? Unless you were exposed or you had equivocal results each time or your doctor could not read the test results within the 48-72 hours if it was a skin test, it is unclear why you should have so many tests in 6months. Talk to your doctor.
