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.
