Tubersol Tuberculin Purified Protein Derivative (PPD) (Mantoux) 1 mL (10 Tests) Tween Stabilized Solution is the trusted choice for healthcare professionals worldwide in the detection of latent or active tuberculosis (TB) infection. This highly purified PPD solution is specifically designed for the renowned Mantoux tuberculin skin test (TST). Each vial contains 1 mL of stabilized solution (equal to 10 tests), ensuring consistency, accuracy, and reliability in TB screening programs for hospitals, laboratories, public health agencies, and clinics.

How Tubersol Works

Tubersol is administered intradermally via the Mantoux technique. The purified protein derivative (PPD) stimulates a delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) immune response in individuals sensitized to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Read the induration region at the site 48-72 hours post-injection for accurate TB diagnosis.

Tubersol Tuberculin Purified Protein Derivative (Mantoux) is used for conducting the Mantoux tuberculin skin test, which helps diagnose latent tuberculosis infection. This solution is administered intradermally to assess the body’s immune response to the TB antigen. A critical tool in public health, it aids in identifying individuals who have been exposed to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The solution is stabilized with Tween, ensuring consistent results for accurate TB screening and management.

Interpretation of Results

• Positive TST: Indicates TB infection (active or latent); follow up with chest x-ray and/or clinical assessment.
• Negative TST: Typically rules out TB infection; consider patient history, risk factors, and immunocompromised status.

Instructions on How to Use (Mantoux TB Skin Test Procedure)

1. Prepare the site:

   • Select the volar surface of the forearm, 2–4 inches below the elbow.
   • Cleanse with alcohol and let dry.

2. Draw up the dose:

   • Using a tuberculin syringe, withdraw 0.1 mL (5 TU) of Tubersol solution.

3. Administer the Injection:

   • Stretch the skin taut.
   • Insert the needle, bevel up, just below the skin surface (intradermal).
   • Inject slowly to form a pale, discrete wheal (6–10 mm diameter).

4. Do not cover or massage site.

5. Record the location, date, and time of administration.

Dosage & Administration

• For adults and children:
  • 0.1 mL (5 TU) administered intradermally in the forearm.
• Reading Results:
  • Test site should be evaluated by a healthcare professional in 48-72 hours.
  • Measure induration (not erythema) transversely to the long axis of the forearm.
• Interpretation:
  • Positive threshold depends on risk factors and patient population (e.g.,>5 mm,>10 mm,>15 mm).

Always use a new, sterile syringe and needle for each patient.

Drug Interactions

• Live Virus Vaccines: Measles, mumps, rubella can temporarily suppress response to PPD – if MMR given, delay TB test by 4–6 weeks.
• Immunosuppressive Drugs & Corticosteroids: May reduce skin reactivity and cause false-negative results.
• Acute Viral Illness or Recent Vaccination: May diminish test response; schedule test appropriately.
• History of Severe Allergies or Immunodeficiency: Consult provider.

Communicate all medications and recent vaccinations to your healthcare provider prior to testing.

Side Effects & Warnings

Common Side Effects

• Mild redness, itching, or swelling at injection site
• Transient mild pain at administration point

Serious Adverse Reactions

• Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis, urticaria): Extremely rare
• Ulceration or necrosis at injection site (rare in hypersensitive individuals or improper administration)
• Vesiculation or blistering at site (very rare)
• Fever or generalized skin reaction (rare)

Warnings & Precautions

• Do not use for IV, IM, or subcutaneous administration—intracutaneous only.
• Store refrigerated at 2–8°C; do not freeze.
• Not for use in patients with known PPD hypersensitivity or previous severe TB test reactions.
• False negative possible in immunosuppressed, malnourished, or acutely ill patients.
• Not a substitute for clinical evaluation or other TB diagnostics.
