The Mantoux Test or also known as Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) and Mendel–Mantoux test, is a tool for screening for tuberculosis (TB) amongst other indications.
A single Mantoux Test requires two visits to Mungret Medical Centre, first to administer the tuberculin and then to read it 48 hours to 72 hours later. The first appointment is not given on a Thursday, however all other days during opening hours can be used for the first appointment. If the test is not read within the 48 hour to 72 hour window a re-test will be needed.
Occasionally a Two Step TB Skin test may be requested and/or required, this is generally four visits; 1st visit; doctor consultation, tuberculin administration; 2nd visit (48 to 72 hours later); reading. 3rd visit (day 7 to 21 after the 2nd visit); tuberculin administration and 4th visit (48 to 72 hours later); reading. However, your specific documentation and/or requirements may vary and we advise that you review same before booking appointment(s).
The Mantoux test, is a diagnostic tool used to detect latent or active tuberculosis (TB) infection. It’s been around for over a century and is still widely used in healthcare, especially for screening healthcare workers, immigrants, and individuals in high-risk environments. It's a skin test where a small amount of purified protein derivative (PPD) is injected just under the skin to check if someone has been exposed to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria.
If you are attending for an Independent Medical Report appointment please review the advised documentation before your appointment.
