Tuberculin skin test (TST) application in children can be eased by topical anesthesia, but no study has determined whether lidocaine-prilocaine mixture application modifies TST skin reactions. We compared TST performed with and without topical anesthesia in 46 children (range, 0.4-15.9 years), and found that topical lidocaine-prilocaine did not affect the TST size reaction. Topical lidocaine-prilocaine can be used for TST.
