The mTST approach appears to be a reliable tool to assess TST administration. The mTST approach was accurate to read indurations of 0-4mm or 15+mm, but less accurate for reactions of 5-14mm. We believe the mTST approach could be useful for training and quality assurance in locations where on-site supervision is not possible.
