  • AsianAmericanAlien what exactly are you basing these statements on? i know the part about them giving you dead "virus" (actually from what i have read its my understanding its a bacteria) is correct but what are you basing the rest of your statement on? do you have a source ?

  • THis is a really good video

  • Dr.MDK

    if i get placed on the meds to prevent me from getting tb disease will i be able to go to school? play football? be with loved ones and friends?

  • He must have been talking about Guillain Barre Syndrome, in my knowledge this is not a known side effect of the skin test, more so, it affects whole of the body, not just the hands

  • Just wondering because a couple days after I got the Mantoux test, I lost use of both of my hands. Also both hands developed a rash and began to swell. The doctor advised me that I had Ge-yan (sp?) Barre Syndrome which might of been caused by the injection.

  • it doesn't have any such side effects

  • But,how can we explain that in USA,the value of BCG is about 15% while inside England,the value is about 85% ?

  • To Dr. MDK,

    I was wondering is there any side effects from taking the Mantoux test, such as swelling of hands, rash, numbness???

    Thanks for your attention to this matter your information will help me on my research paper.

  • The TB Test requires .1ml PPD applied Epidermally and must be read at 48-hours. We measure induration, not erythema. Induration of 10 mm is highly positive even for patients that have received the bcg. HIV patients have a positive PPD if induration is 5 mm or >. Induration may last a few days & may itch.
