Mantoux tests. Performing, interpreting, and acting upon them.

R A Pennie1.   

Abstract

Interpreting and acting upon results of the tuberculin skin test (Mantoux test) can be confusing because the test is inherently ambiguous and published recommendations for investigation and prevention of tuberculosis are complex. This article presents a step-by-step guide to enable family physicians to make effective use of the Mantoux test.
