Tuberculin Test Measurement at 48 and 72 hours: mismatch and clinical significance
TST concordance at 48-72 hours is excellent, but in some patients (3.7% in this work) the score is incorrect, more so in readings at 48 hours. The proportion is low, but can be reduced if the reading is taken at 72 hours and Interferon Gamma Release Assay tests are used in some cases (immunocompromised, etc.).
