The tuberculin test is widely used

Where is the tuberculin test widely used? The tuberculin test is a special tool for diagnosing tuberculosis. It is one of the two key tuberculin skin tests in the world. It is generally used to detect whether the human body is infected with bacteria. However, we do not know much about this medical thing, so I am very curious. In the past, many people asked me what a positive tuberculin test means. But I don't know anything about these aspects. So now I want to know what this thing means. It can broaden my horizons.

1. Process/Method:

1. First, after the body has been infected with tuberculosis for a period of time, tuberculin can show a positive reaction. Of course, the tuberculin reaction of infected people may remain positive for life, but people who have not been infected with tuberculosis will not show a positive reaction even after repeated tests.

2. Because of this principle, tuberculin is widely used in clinical epidemiological research, and to detect tuberculosis infection, select BCG vaccination targets and evaluate the actual effect of vaccination, and can also be used to judge the body's somatic cell resistance. Therefore, this test is very effective in this type of test.

3. If the test result is positive, it indicates tuberculosis infection, and tuberculosis is a diffuse infectious disease. At present, the key to treating tuberculosis is drug treatment. At present, the common drugs for treating tuberculosis include isoniazid, but it is impossible to distinguish based on this alone, so it is still necessary to accept the doctor's examination.

2. Frequently Asked Questions:

In fact, we just need to have a general understanding of this. If you really don't understand, it is best to go to the hospital to consult a doctor, and don't blindly choose treatment by yourself, otherwise it will delay your condition or make it worse.
