Boosting can occur up to two years after the first Mantoux test.

As a replacement for the Mantoux test, several other tests are being developed.

The role of Mantoux testing in people who have been vaccinated is disputed.

The Mantoux test is a test developed to detect tuberculosis.

The Mantoux test is now used.

The sanatorium applied advanced (for the time) methods of treatment, including the Mantoux test and electrification.

The test used in the United States at present is referred to as the Mantoux test.

Mantoux testing 1/1000 was negative.

Mantoux test is positive.

Doctors use a skin test, called the Mantoux test, to detect latent TB.

Contrary to this, however, studies have shown that the tine test can give results that correlate well to the Mantoux test.

Mantoux test by Charles Mantoux in 1907.

Furthermore, the tine test is faster, and easier to administer than the Mantoux test and has been recommended for screening children.

The tine test is similar to the Heaf test, although the Mantoux test is usually used instead.

It has been evaluated for the diagnosis of latent tuberculosis in HIV patients (who frequently have a negative Mantoux test).

In terms of mechanism of action and appearance, the reaction is similar to the tuberculin reaction of a positive Mantoux test for tuberculosis.

There is disagreement on the use of the Mantoux test on people who have been immunized with BCG.

Because it is not possible to control precisely the amount of tuberculin used in the tine test, a positive test should be verified using the Mantoux test.

The tuberculin used for Heaf tests is 1000 times more concentrated than that used for Mantoux tests.

The Heaf test was used until 2005 in the UK, when it was replaced by the Mantoux test.

Historically, there have been three methods of tuberculin testing: the Mantoux test, the Heaf test, and the Tine test.

A previous BCG vaccination can cause a false positive Mantoux test, although a very high-grade reading is usually due to active disease.

Sometimes, TST is called a purified protein derivative (PPD) or Mantoux test.

Interferon gamma release assays (IGRAs), on a blood sample, are recommended in those who are positive to the Mantoux test.

Until 2005, the test was used in the United Kingdom to determine if the BCG vaccine was needed; the Mantoux test is now used instead.

A PPD test may also result positive.

Patients who have a positive PPD test (but not active tuberculosis) may decrease their risk by properly taking medicines to prevent tuberculosis.

Andrew Speaker was suspected of having TB when a positive PPD test came back on March 2, 2007.

Have had a tuberculin skin test (TB skin test, PPD test) before, and what the results were.

But a complete work-up had failed to find anything wrong except for a positive PPD test, suggesting that she indeed had had TB.

Failure to understand the distinction between PPD skin test reactivity and active TB may serve as a further disincentive to PPD testing.

Those who are immunologically compromised, especially those with HIV and low CD4 T cell counts, frequently show negative results from the PPD test.

A TB skin test (also called a tuberculin skin test, PPD test, or Mantoux test) can help identify people who have ever had a TB infection.

Individuals who plan to reside or stay in Botswana for extended periods are advised to obtain a tuberculosis skin test (PPD test) prior to arrival and again upon departure from Botswana.

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).
