Tuberculin Test Graduated

Tuberculosis test Grading is a method of diagnosing tuberculosis that is used to identify infected people. It is based on the body's response to the introduction of tuberculosis antigen. This test allows you to determine the degree of reaction to the introduction of antigen and determine the level of risk of contracting tuberculosis.

The Graduation test procedure usually involves the injection of a small amount of a tuberculosis drug (tuberculin) intradermally. Then a small papule forms at the injection site, which gradually increases in size. The degree of enlargement of the papule reflects the degree of the body's response to tuberculin.

A positive Graduincia test means that the body is reacting to the injected tuberculosis drug and has likely been infected with the disease. A negative test, on the contrary, indicates the absence of the body’s reaction to the administered substance and the absence of tuberculosis infection in a person. It is important to note that a positive test result does not necessarily mean the presence of active tuberculosis. The test result may be affected by recent contact with a patient with tuberculosis, the presence of allergies or a stressful condition.

Modern medical technology allows the Graduation test to be performed more accurately and efficiently than before, increasing its value as a diagnostic test. The test results can be used to determine the risk of infection and prescribe treatment if necessary. In general, tuberculosis grading is an important diagnostic procedure for assessing the patient's health and determining the risks of tuberculosis for various population groups.
