Additional Information for Tuberculin
Tuberculin is a type of biological product that is used in the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis (TB). It is derived from the bacteria that cause TB and is used to test for the presence of the disease in individuals who may have been exposed to the bacteria.
Tuberculin is typically administered through a skin test called the Mantoux test or the tuberculin skin test (TST). During this test, a small amount of tuberculin is injected just under the skin, usually on the forearm. After 48 to 72 hours, the healthcare provider will examine the injection site for any signs of a reaction, such as redness or swelling. A positive reaction indicates that the person has been exposed to the TB bacteria at some point in their life.
In addition to its diagnostic use, tuberculin can also be used as a treatment for TB. It is often included as part of a combination therapy regimen that includes other anti-TB drugs. Tuberculin helps to stimulate the body's immune response against the TB bacteria, aiding in the eradication of the infection.
Tuberculin falls under the supply class Drugs And Biologicals in the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies because it is a medication used in the medical field for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes related to tuberculosis.
