How do you measure the size of a wheal?
Measure the largest diameter, then the one at 90 degrees to the largest diameter for example, 10 x 7 mm.

What is a Positive Test?

A positive skin test reaction is defined as a wheal 3 mm greater in diameter than the negative control reaction (not the positive control), accompanied by surrounding flare (erythema).

Examples of 4+ reactions include:
- a wheal with pseudopod
- a wheal with a satellite (considered more severe than a pseudopod)


Thank you! - MT

Begging for people to jump on, if okay with their TSM. Ha! Ha! Don't they know, the TSM (at least the last several I have had) will not pick up the phone 10 seconds after their shift, and their shift does not include weekends (apparently from my experience). Maybe they let go a few too many with their 99.7% program. In the group I am in, the work really starts coming in heavy because the doctors do their catch up work at the end of the week.

I am a new MT who has only been in the business since March.  I still review every single one of my reports...I did stop listening to them again since I am comfortable with that part...My question is what is a normal amount of time to auctally stop going over the reports again?...I do understand sometimes that it is necessary to sometimes go back over them. Problem is work is picking up and I simply can not keep spending too much time going back over them, not to mention that it dips into p ...
