How long do you have to wait to read a tb test
TB skin tests should be read between 48 and 72 hours after the injection when the size of the induration is maximal. Tests read after 72 hours tend to underestimate the size of the induration. ChaCha on! [ Source: http://www.chacha.com/question/how-long-do-you-have-to-wait-to-read-a-tb-test ]

- Q:
- A: the clinic that placed the tb test can tell you how long you have to wait. You can probably do it immediately. Sometimes they will read it if it’s longer than 3 days and you are sure it’s a negative reading. If the spot where the test was done was not red or raised, you likely have a negative test.
