If you get a positive Mantoux test it means that you have purified protein derivative. This test is used to test for TB or Tuberculosis. If you get a positive test, further testing is required to see if you actually have Tuberculosis.
What is mantoux skin test used for?
Montoux skin test is used to test infection by tuberculus bacteria. An intradermal injection is given and test result is seen from 48 to 72 hours. An induration for more than 10 mm indicates positive motaux test. It only indicates that there is recent infection by tuberculus bacteria. It does not denotes anything else. It is sometimes false negative is severe tuberculosis. It helps in diagnosis of the tuberculosis.
Definition for false positive mean?
A test result which incorrectly indicates that a particular condition or attribute is present.
Who is affected by tuberculosis?

What is the ICD-9 code for history of positive PPD test in the past - 795.51?
The PPD test is the test for tuberculosis. The correct code for a positive test in the past is V12.01 for a personal history of tuberculosis.
What indicates a positive result of a tuberculin test?
A positive result of a tuberculin test, also known as the Mantoux test, is indicated by the presence of induration (swelling) at the injection site, typically measured 48 to 72 hours after administration. The size of the induration varies based on individual risk factors; for example, a reaction of 15 mm or more is generally considered positive in healthy individuals, while smaller reactions may be significant in those with higher risk factors, such as recent exposure to tuberculosis or immunocompromised status.
Blood results - hsv-2 igg was 5.00 were you just exposed recently?

What are the indicators of a ppd test?
Indicators of a positive PPD (purified protein derivative) test for tuberculosis include a raised bump or hardened area at the injection site on the skin. The size of this reaction is measured after 48-72 hours and is considered positive if it exceeds a certain diameter, typically 5-15mm depending on the individual's risk factors. A positive PPD test suggests exposure to the bacteria that causes tuberculosis but does not confirm active disease; further testing is needed for diagnosis.
The BCG vaccination will result in positive lepromin and tuberculin test. what is the relationship between leprosy and tuberculosis?
The BCG vaccine, primarily used to protect against tuberculosis (TB), can cause a positive lepromin test, indicating prior exposure to Mycobacterium leprae, the bacterium that causes leprosy. Both leprosy and tuberculosis are infectious diseases caused by mycobacteria, and they share similar environmental and epidemiological factors. However, they are distinct diseases with different transmission modes, clinical manifestations, and management strategies. The positive tests reflect the immune response to mycobacterial antigens rather than a direct relationship between the two diseases.
