Abstract
Tuberculin skin test is still the only proven method for identifying infection wtih M. tuberculosis in persons who do not have active disease. Targeted tuberculin testing for latent tuberculosis infection is a strategic component of tuberculosis control in low prevalence countries. This report describes indication, technical method, interpretation of this test and guidelines when the tuberculin test is positive.
