	Tuberculin skin test
		Tuberculosis (TB) is an airborne infectious disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
		The two most common types of tests to screen for this disease are the Mantoux PPD tuberculin skin test, which is generally considered the most reliable, and the TB tine test.
		Negative tests can be interpreted to mean that the person has not been infected with the tuberculosis bacteria or that the person has been infected recently and not enough time has elapsed for the body to react to the skin test.

		Although the test is generally considered safe, it is important to inform the person conducting the test if the patient may be pregnant, has had a positive TB test in the past, or has had tuberculosis in the past.
		For this reason, the tine test is not as widely used as the Mantoux test and is considered to be less reliable; as of 2000, it is no longer recommended for general use.
		Negative test results can be interpreted to mean that the person has not been infected with the tuberculosis bacteria or that the person has been infected recently and not enough time has elapsed for the body to react to the skin test.
