Detailed explanation-1: -The Mantoux test is a widely used test for latent TB. It involves injecting a small amount of a substance called PPD tuberculin into the skin of your forearm. It’s also called the tuberculin skin test (TST).
Detailed explanation-2: -Tuberculin skin tests (TST) are administered to detect the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium that causes tuberculosis (TB). The terms Mantoux, TB skin test, tuberculin skin test, and PPDs are often used interchangeably.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Mantoux tuberculin skin test is an intradermal injection. With the needle bevel against the patient’s skin, insert it slowly at a 5-to 15-degree angle. The 5-to 15-degree angle is very important because this layer of skin is very thin.
Detailed explanation-4: -Tuberculin test is a delayed hypersensitivity (Type IV) to intradermal injection of purified protein derivative (PPD) of Tuberculin, to test for cell mediated immunity against Mycobacteria.
Detailed explanation-5: -What is a TB blood test? The tuberculosis (TB) blood test, also called an Interferon Gamma Release Assay or IGRA, is a way to find out if you have TB germs in your body.
