Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be the most important bacterial infection worldwide and therefore new improved diagnostic tests are needed to help doctors in diagnosing TB. We are investigating a new skin test named C-Tb. Like the current tuberculin skin test (PPD), the C-Tb test is injected just under the skin and will, when positive, show redness and/or swelling at the injection site while a negative test will leave no reactions. The aim of this trial is to test the C-Tb skin test in volunteers. The volunteers are divided into four groups: * Negative control group: Must have no history of exposure to a person with tuberculosis disease. * Occasional contact: Must be in contact with a person with tuberculosis disease between 6 hours/week and 6 hours/day * Close contact: Must be in close contact with a person with tuberculosis disease for more than 6 hours/day for at least five days * Positive control group: Must have a confirmed tuberculosis disease within the last 3 years. The goals of this clinical trial are: * To compare the C-Tb test to a blood test, the QuantiFERON test. * To compare the C-Tb test to the PPD test that is currently being used. * To assess the safety of the C-Tb test.
