Aplisol (Tuberculin) - Side Effects and Adverse Reactions

ADVERSE REACTIONS

In highly sensitive individuals, strongly positive reactions including vesiculation, ulceration or necrosis may occur at the test site; however, there were no reports of these reactions for the period 1995 through 1998. Cold packs or topical steroid preparations may be employed for symptomatic relief of the associated pain, pruritus and discomfort.

Strongly positive test reactions may result in scarring at the test site.

Immediate erythematous or other reactions may occur at the injection site.
