Montaux test
Since May 2019 my one eye (Sometime right or left eye) is becoming red every 20 days. So in May 2019 i had done Montaux test which came negetive. Since the issue was still persisting till date I repeated the test two days back & it came positive with 10 mm by 10 mm induration. The chest x ray is normal & clear with no symptoms of TB. Is it that since i had repeated the test the test came positive?
