I got a tuberculosis injection and after two days this appeared on the site where the injection took place http://www.healthopedia.com/pictures/tuberculosis-positive-skin-test.html The nurse that examined my arm said that I don't have the sickness. The question is What should I do?

The size of the pinkish bump is measured and if it's under a certain diameter, although you reacted to the antibodies you do not have TB. If you had TB they'd put you on a combination of antibiotics for over a year. TB is a very seriously and difficult infection to cure. You may have reacted to the TB test because perhaps at some point in you life you there exposed to antibodies and your body developed antigens to them. If you still concerned, get another TB test in a month
