Yes, the tuberculin test is safe for pregnant women. The purpose of this medical test is to check whether a person has been exposed to tuberculosis (TB) or not and it is generally recommended during pregnancy in order to protect both mother and baby from an active TB infection. This skin-prick test involves injecting a small amount of liquid that contains proteins derived from the bacteria causing TB into the outer layers of your skin on your forearm. While there may be some mild side effects such as soreness or redness at the injection site, these are usually minor and temporary. As long as you have no known allergies related to TB, this test should pose no risk to either yourself or your unborn child.
