What Is The Normal Range For Getting A "Fit To Travel" To US In Mantoux Test?
Hi,
My Wife has recently gone for a Mantoux Test for her US Visa requirement. She got a reading of 12 mm. But she doesn't have any history of previous Tuberculosis. Do you advise her to get the test done again? And what is the normal range for getting a "Fit To Travel" to US. Please advise.

she is fit to travel to the US.
usually if the reading is more than 15 mm .it is significant.
so 12 mm is normal..
and more over she does not have any symptoms.
Get a quantiferon test if still in doubt.
