The Mantoux test, or tuberculin skin test, is typically administered on the left forearm to standardize testing and ensure consistent results. This location is easily accessible and allows for proper observation of the reaction. Additionally, using the left forearm helps healthcare providers avoid confusion with other common vaccination sites, which are often on the right arm. Ultimately, it aids in effective monitoring and documentation of the test results.
