Background: Important management decisions depend on results of the tuberculin skin test. However, the test is subject to several potential errors, and its reliability has not been adequately studied. Objective: To ascertain the reliability of tuberculin skin testing. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: University hospital. Participants: 96 persons who received a tuberculin skin test. Measurements: Ballpoint-pen and palpation measures of induration. Results: Global intra- and interobserver reliability coeffi-cients of the ballpoint-pen technique were high. Five per-cent of the time, however, a second measurement by the same observer could be at least 2.7 mm less to 3.0 mm more than the first measurement and the measurement from the seco...
