Ok this is the first time I've posted but I felt the need to respond to this one! I wouldn't worry about the PPD being negative as they're not very reliable. I had a BCG when I was 13 but my scar faded a couple of years ago (im 21). I've just began a Nursing degree and occupational health had to do a Mantoux skin test on me to confirm my TB status. It came up in a really big nasty bruise but was negative so the next day they carried out another one on my other arm, this time there was no bruise but still a negative reaction. They believe me about having the BCG as they can just barely see my scar but can't accept it as evidence and since the skin tests haven't worked they're going to vaccinate me again :uhoh21: Does anyone know anyway around this as I really don't want the BCG again! Also, 2 days after the skin test was read a red bump appeared and has been there eversince. I had it 11 days ago! Does this mean anything? Vicky
