Vaccination with live attenuated viral vaccine or viral infections such as measles, HIV, or influenza can lower tuberculin reaction for a while. Other diseases, including cancer and sarcoidosis, may decrease sensitivity to tuberculin. Someone who is malnourished and on immunosuppresive treatment may indicate a low reaction to Tuberculin PP RT23 than expected.
Person with active tuberculosis may indicate a reaction of less than 6 mm when the immune system has decreased dramatically due to tuberculosis infection.
One can show a positive Mantoux test results, although not/never been infected with tuberculosis. This can be caused by previous vaccination or prior infection with non-tuberculosis mycobacterium from an environment that does not cause particular disease.
