In 2023, the United States reported 9,633 cases of tuberculosis, a disease often diagnosed using an intradermal skin test [1.8.1, 1.8.2]. This diagnostic tool's accuracy hinges on a key question: **what degree is an intradermal skin test** administered at for proper results?

The intradermal (ID) injection route has the longest absorption time of all parenteral routes, making it ideal for sensitivity tests [1.4.2]. Answering 'What is an intradermal injection?' involves understanding its use in delivering a substance just below the epidermis for diagnostic purposes [1.2.2, 1.4.2].
