Par Sterile Products Aplisol Tuberculin Purified Protein Derivative, specifically Diluted 1 mL (10 Tests), is used to perform the Mantoux tuberculin skin test for detecting latent tuberculosis (TB) infections. Administered intradermally, Aplisol triggers an immune response in individuals previously sensitized to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Health professionals evaluate the injection site 48 to 72 hours later for any induration or swelling, which may indicate TB exposure. This test is crucial for screening vulnerable populations, aiding in early TB detection, monitoring, and potential treatment.

Aplisol Test is a simple modified complement fixation test used to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) antigens in human body. Aplisol Test (also known as Tuberculin Purified Protein Derivative or PPD) is made up of a solution and MTB germs which can attach to antibodies present in the person's body to form a foam when injected beneath the person's skin. If the person has been in contact with MTB, he/she produces antibodies against MTB and so the Aplisol Test would check for this and it provides results in two days. In other words, Aplisol Test functions as an immunological reagent and detects antibody/antigen reactions in people to test whether an individual is infected with or has been exposed to certain disease-causing bacteria. It is a highlyspecifi test which can beochecked for infections like Tuberculosis and so is most widely used Aplisol Test around the world.

FAQs About Tubersol Skin Tests
  • What Does the Tubersol Skin Test Detect?

    The Tubersol Skin Test detects infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria that causes tuberculosis (TB). This test can identify both latent TB infection (when the bacteria are in the body but not causing symptoms) and active TB disease.

  • Is Tubersol the Same as PPD?

    Yes, Tubersol is a brand of Purified Protein Derivative (PPD), the substance used in the Mantoux tuberculin skin test, also commonly known as the TB skin test.

  • What Drug is Used for a Tuberculosis Skin Test?

    The drug used is tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD), delivered intradermally to assess your body’s immune response to TB antigens.

  • What Does Tubersol Mean?

    Tubersol is a standardized, stabilized solution of PPD designed explicitly for TB screening in adults, children, healthcare workers, and at-risk populations.

  • How Does the Tubersol (Mantoux) Skin Test Work?

    Administration: A tiny amount of Tubersol (PPD) is injected just under the skin, usually on your forearm. Response: Your healthcare provider will measure skin induration (swelling/hardness) at the injection site 48-72 hours later. 3. Result Interpretation: Negative Tubersol Test: No induration or a very small bump means you likely haven’t been infected with TB bacteria. Positive Tubersol Test: A larger, raised, red, or hard area signifies TB infection.

  • What Does a Positive Tubersol Test Mean?

    A positive Tubersol skin test indicates your immune system has reacted to the TB protein derivative, meaning you’ve likely been exposed to the TB bacteria. However, it doesn’t distinguish between latent TB infection and active TB disease. Further testing—like a chest X-ray or sputum test—is needed.

  • Should I Be Worried About a Positive TB Test?

    Don’t panic—a positive TB skin test doesn’t mean you definitely have active tuberculosis. Approximately 90% of people with latent TB do not develop active disease. Follow-up with your healthcare provider for confirmation and appropriate care.

  • What Will a Positive TB Skin Test Look Like?

    A raised, firm, red, or hard bump (induration) at the injection site at 48-72 hours. Health professionals measure the bump in millimeters to interpret exposure or infection risk.

  • What is the Normal Range for a TB Test?

    0-4 mm induration: Negative in most people 5-9 mm: Positive for people with risk factors (e.g., HIV, organ transplants) 10-14 mm: Positive for those at moderate risk (injecting drug users, healthcare workers) 15 mm or more: Positive, regardless of risk factors

  • What are the Side Effects of Tubersol?

    Mild redness, swelling, or itching at the injection site Rarely, blistering or ulceration Systemic allergic reactions are extremely rare

  • Can a TB Skin Test Make You Sick?

    Tubersol does NOT cause TB infection. Some may experience mild local reactions but systemic illness is extremely uncommon.

  • What is the Difference Between a TB Test and a TB Skin Test?

    TB test can refer to either TB skin tests (Mantoux/Tubersol) or blood tests (like Quantiferon-TB Gold). TB skin test specifically uses PPD (Tubersol) injected under the skin, while blood tests look for immune response in the blood.

  • Tuberculosis: Types & Key Information

    Types of tuberculosis: 1. Latent TB infection (LTBI) 2. Active TB disease (pulmonary TB) 3. Extrapulmonary TB (affecting organs other than lungs) Tuberculin vs Tuberculosis: Tuberculin is the protein extract used to test for TB; tuberculosis is the disease itself.

  • Why Choose Tubersol?

    CDC and WHO-recommended for TB screening Accurate, fast, and easy to interpret Suitable for schools, workplaces, healthcare providers, and public health agencies
