Do not take it seriously as in india it should be positive ,due to either bcg vaccination,sub clinical form of tuberculosis,treated tuberculosis or other reasons.Very rarely it may be negative. If it is aggressively positive like the induration is wide ,more than 10 to 20 mm diameter,it may indicate active infection with TB bacteria.

Nowadays doctors don't rely much upon the Mantoux test as it can at times give false positive reactions.
