TB Reaction Or Skin Infection
Starting 6 hours after receiving my TB test I had a red rash at the injection site (0 skin thickening, 0 blisters), fever ranging from 100.2 to 101.7, fatigue, arm weakness and general hit by a truck feeling. TB reaction or skin infection ?

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic Forum,
Yes, this seems to be a reaction to the tuberculin test dose. You need to take appropriate medicines to counteract this. Please consult your doctor at the earliest.
Good Luck
