TB Skin Test Reading
A tuberculosis (TB) skin test reading is when a healthcare worker checks the results of your skin test. As this eMedTV article explains, the healthcare worker will check the injection site and measure the size of swelling to determine the results.

Tuberculocis
Most people who have tuberculosis do not develop any symptoms. This article from the eMedTV archives covers how the tuberculosis bacterium is transmitted and explains how the disease is treated. Tuberculocis is a common misspelling of tuberculosis.
