Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Tuberculin PPD 5 TU is primarily used for tuberculosis (TB) screening via the Mantoux test. It helps determine whether a person has been exposed to the bacteria that cause TB. The test is commonly used in healthcare settings, workplaces, and schools to identify latent TB infections. It is not a treatment for active TB but aids in diagnosis.

Side Effects

  • When administered correctly, Tuberculin PPD 5 TU produces a localized skin reaction at the injection site within 48–72 hours. This reaction indicates the body's immune response to TB bacteria. The area may appear raised, red, or swollen, which is expected and does not necessarily mean active TB infection.

Precautions & Warnings

  • Store Tuberculin PPD 5 TU refrigerated between 2°C and 8°C (36°F and 46°F) and protect from light. Do not freeze. Use within the expiration date printed on the vial. Discard any unused portion after opening to maintain sterility. Ensure proper disposal of used needles and syringes.

Avoid Interactions

  • No known drug interactions have been reported with Tuberculin PPD 5 TU. However, recent live virus vaccinations (e.g., measles, mumps, rubella) may temporarily reduce skin test reactivity. Corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs could also affect test results. Always inform your healthcare provider of any medications or conditions before testing.
