TUBERCULIN PPD
Tuberculin PPD (Purified Protein Derivative) is a diagnostic tool used primarily to test for tuberculosis (TB) infection. It is not a vaccine or treatment but rather a means to determine if someone has been exposed to the bacteria that cause tuberculosis.
Product Details:
- Formulation: Tuberculin PPD is a sterile solution containing proteins derived from the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria.
- Administration: It is administered via intradermal injection.
Uses:
-
Tuberculosis Screening: The primary use of Tuberculin PPD is to perform the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), also known as the Mantoux test. This test helps detect latent TB infection in individuals who may have been exposed to TB bacteria but do not have active tuberculosis disease.
-
Pre-employment Screening: It is often used in pre-employment health screenings, particularly in healthcare and other high-risk environments.
