The Mantoux test or Mendel-Mantoux test (also known as the Mantoux screening test, tuberculin sensitivity test, Pirquet test, or PPD test for purified protein derivative) is a screening tool for tuberculosis (TB) .uberculin is a glycerol extract of the tubercle bacillus. Purified protein derivative (PPD) tuberculin is a precipitate of species-nonspecific molecules obtained from filtrates of sterilized, concentrated cultures.
The Test: The Mantoux test is performed by injecting intradermally, with a syringe and needle, 0.1 mL of TUBERSOLÂ®. For the intradermal (Mantoux) tuberculin test, the dose is 5 US units (TU) per test dose of 0.1 mL.or the intradermal (Mantoux) tuberculin test, the dose is 5 U.S.units (TU) per test dose of 0.1 mL. PPD tuberculin may be used as an aid in the diagnosis of tuberculosis infection in persons with a history of BCG vaccination. HIV-infected individuals should receive tuberculin skin testing as recommended. 13,18.
