Mantoux Test in Bhilwara

The Mantoux Test is a skin test that checks for tuberculosis infection by injecting a small amount of tuberculin protein under the skin and observing the reaction after 48-72 hours.

This test is recommended to screen for TB exposure, especially in people with symptoms, TB contact history, or before certain immunosuppressive treatments.

No, fasting is not required before a Mantoux Test.

This test helps detect exposure to tuberculosis bacteria, indicating latent or past TB infection.

Mantoux Test results in Bhilwara require a return visit for reading 48-72 hours after the injection, as the reaction develops over this period.

A small amount of tuberculin is injected just under the skin of the forearm, and the resulting skin reaction is measured 48-72 hours later.

The Mantoux Test requires administration by trained personnel and a follow-up visit for reading; please check with your Bhilwara center for home service availability.
