						five (5) tuberculin units into the dermis (i.e., the second layer of skin) of
						the forearm with a needle and syringe. The area is examined between 48 and 72
						hours after the injection. A reaction is measured according to the size of the
						induration. The classification of a reaction as positive or negative depends on
						the patient's medical history and various risk factors (see definition for
						"significant tuberculin skin test"). This test is used to evaluate the
						likelihood that a person is infected with
M. tuberculosis
. The
						Mantoux tuberculin skin test (TST) should be administered only by persons
						certified in the intradermal technique.
