Tuberculin test
(gcide) | Tuberculin test \Tu*ber"cu*lin test\
The hypodermic injection of tuberculin, used as a test for
past or present infection with tuberculosis. It is used both
for humans and cattle.
Note: In humans, a previous or acive infection with
tuberculosis will cause a distinct reaction to the
injection of tuberculin. The test is thus used to
screen populations to discover those who may harbor an
active tuberculosis infection, and more definitive
tests are performed on those showing a positive
reaction, to determine if the infection is active. In
cattle there is little or no effect of the injection of
tuberculin on healthy animals, but there is a marked
rise in temperature in tuberculous animals.
