The Mantoux test is often referred to as the Tuberculosis skin test or the PPD test. It is employed to diagnose latent/asymptomatic tuberculosis (TB) infection in humans. To diagnose tuberculosis infection, a pure protein derivative (PPD) derived from tuberculosis-causing bacteria is injected into the forearm of the patient. A skin reaction that occurs 48-72 hours later serves as the basis for the diagnosis. In a positive Mantoux test, an X-ray of the chest is also indicated.
A latent TB infection might become active; thus, timely diagnosis and treatment are required. Less invasive than conventional TB blood tests in children under 5. Direct interaction with TB infected individuals or immunocompromised people is also advised.
If you have signs or symptoms of tuberculosis, such as a persistent cough, fever, night sweats, weight loss, or exhaustion, you should seek medical attention.
