On injecte une petite quantité de tuberculine sous la peau de l'avant-bras. Si l'organisme reconnaît cette protéine, le système immunitaire réagira. Cette réaction prend la forme d’une induration(enflure ou bosse) au site d’injection. La réaction au test cutané à la tuberculine(TCT) est mesurée entre 48 et 72 heures plus tard. Si le diamètre de l'induration est supérieur à 5 mm(chez les personnes qui ont été en contact avec un cas connu de tuberculose ou qui sont infectées par le VIH) ou à 10 mm chez les autres, le test est considéré comme positif. 1, record 1, French, - test%20cutan%C3%A9%20%C3%A0%20la%20tuberculine
