Mantoux tuberculin test
The Mantoux test (also known as the Mantoux screening test, tuberculin sensitivity test, Pirquet test, or PPD test for purified protein derivative) is a diagnostic tool for tuberculosis. A standard dose of tuberculin is injected intradermally (between the layers of dermis) and read 48 to 72 hours later.
