People have tried to get them read by a nurse at home, their mother, etc. for years. I have never allowed this, they need to show up in person for readings and feeling for the induration.
I would not recommend allowing this

Does anyone know if literature approves reading negative PPDs by video/remotely? Does it always have to be palpated even if there is absolutely no erythema, or even just a little bruise at the PPD site? Please can you post a link to any article you may know that discusses this.

Much appreciated.
