Strange reaction to PPD?Rating: (votes: 0) There is also a visible mark where the needle punctured and it did bleed just a few drops after she did the injection. I'm wondering if she could have done the PPD too deep and hit the subcutaneous tissue? Could that cause a reaction like this? What else could it be? I'm a little concerned because, while I'm very sure I have not been exposed to TB, I wonder if I am developing a sensitivity to the antigen? I'd rather not have a false positive result and need chest x rays every year for the rest of my life... I'm sorry, but you really should consult a physician, PA, or nurse practitioner for advice on this. As nurses, we cannot diagnose or treat any medical problem, even something as seemingly innocuous as an odd reaction to a PPD, and guessing at the cause is a legal liability issue the wise nurse will not undertake.Please call your primary care provider to have your PPD reaction evaluated.Good luck to you. |
