Ppd test is called Mantoues test. It is positive in most of the Indian adults,specially, those who are vaccinated with bcg if it is strong positive,like 20 MM,it must be correlated with other symptoms, and diagnosis has to be done.Hence Pl consult Pulmonologist online with all the reports and treatment taken.
