Can having a mantoux test cause bells palsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No different : The mantoux test is themtb skin test performed by injecting dead bacteria under the skin and watching for a reaction. It tells if your body has been exposed to the TB bacteria. It does not cause bell's palsy, a weakness of the facial nerve, caused by the herpes virus.
