How To Read A Ppd Test?
Hi, I was tested for PDD on Wednesday and they read it on Thursday. The nurses weren't sure how to read it and were teaching each other. They measured the red area and said it was 20mm. I told the doctor and she maseared it less but still a little more than 15. I know how to read PPD and I believe this was wrong. I would like to repeat my PPD. Can I repeat it?
