  • History of tuberculinidiagnostics

    Tuberculin
    Its classically invented in 1890 famous German physicians
    Robert Koh, whose name is called and the pathogen of tuberculosis –
    Koha stick.

    Authorship method
    tuberculinidiagnostics, that is, the use of Tuborkulin Koch with a view to
    diagnostics belongs to the pitch, which in 1907 first suggested
    Apply tuberculin to diagnose tuberculosis. On damaged
    Special Borik skin applied tuberculin. Later this method was
    Modified and skin damage (scarification) began to produce
    Special Lancetom. Approximately in this form of the trial of the pitch reached and
    until today.

    Somewhat later French
    Mantoux Doctor (Mantoux) offered another sample modification – intradermal
    Introduction Tuberculina. Sample in manta modifications is applied since 1965.



    What is Tuberculin?

    Meaning
    Tuberculina – «denote» In the body the presence of tuberculosis
    Sticks so that the body's response can be estimated
    (qualitatively and quantitatively) «presence». In this sense
    Tuberculin copes perfectly with his task – It is throughout this
    Everything and even a little more about the test mantaThe reason the drug was never subjected to indigenous recycling and now
    more than 100 years, to the present day is one of the fixed assets
    Tuberculosis diagnostics.

    And again a little history.
    Tuberculin (accurate name «Alttoberkulin», AT) Koch – This «Hood»,
    Lisate from mycobacterium tuberculosis inactivated by heating.
    The classic drug, in addition to the Tuberculina itself, contained a lot
    impurities – The remains of the nutrient medium on which bacteria grown,
    salts and other substances that influenced the purity of the reaction and impede
    Evaluation of the results of samples.

    Since the late 60s of the XX century were
    Developed cleaner Tuberculin preparations, so-called PPD
    PURIFIED PROTEIN DERIVATE – peeled protein derivative), which
    Apply to this day. The drug PPD-L, T.E. purified
    Tuberculin, obtained by Russian scientists Lynnikova in 1965.

    The modern Tuberculin preparation, in addition to the Tuberculina itself, contains
    Salts of phosphate buffer solutions, sodium chloride, stabilizer
    Twin-80, and phenol as a preservative. Mostly the drug is delighted
    from ballast impurities, but it may contain them in trace
    quantities that can affect the result of the reaction.

    but
    still unknown with Tuberculina's interaction mechanism with
    immune system. On the one hand, lysat proteins (peptides,
    amino acids) can not be a full-fledged antigen. And really,
    Tuberculin does not cause the formation of immunity. But this point of view is not
    Explains strengthening, as at vaccination, reaction with frequent formulation
    Sample – T.N. «Booster effect» Mantu samples. So what is
    tuberculin? Most likely, tuberculin can be described as
    Heterogeneous mixture of organic substances of different degrees of complexity,
    obtained from mycobacterial.



    What is the reaction of manta?

    Reaction
    Mantu – This is the body's reaction to the introduction of tuberculin. At the place of administration
    The drug in the skin arises specific inflammation caused by
    T-lymphocyte infiltration – specific blood cells,
    responsible for cellular immunity (in contrast to the antician
    Immune response, in which proteins antibodies play the main role).
    Fragments of mycobacteria as if attracting lymphocytes from
    Blood vessels running nearby. But the game takes not
    all T-lymphocytes, but only those that are already fully or partially «familiar»
    with koche stick.

    If the body has already had a chance
    «will meet» with real mycobacterium tuberculosis, then such
    lymphocytes will be more inflammation intense, and the reaction will be
    «Positive» (There is infection with koche stick). Naturally,
    A positive reaction means that inflammation exceeds,
    caused by the hoist and some diagnostic threshold. Measuring ruler
    Papula diameter (inflammatory «Blyakh» or «Buttons») You can evaluate
    Immunity tension to tuberculosis stick.

    Strictly
    Speaking, the reaction of the body on Tuberculin is one of
    allergy varieties (for Tuberculin itself is not
    a full-fledged antigen, but rather an allergen). That is why existing
    Allergic diseases can affect the result of the sample Mantu.

    Higher
    A somewhat simplified biological mechanism of the Mantu reaction is presented.
    It should be remembered that the result of the reaction can affect, in addition to
    existing allergic diseases, recently transferred infections,
    Chronic PatoEverything and even a little more about the test mantaLogy, Immunity to Nonuberculosis Mycobacteriums,
    age. Other concomitant factors play not the last role:

    • phase of the menstrual cycle in girls;
    • Individual characteristics of skin sensitivity;
    • Balance of child nutrition and pr.

    Pronounced
    Impact on the results of mass tuberculinidiagnostics have
    Adverse Environmental Factors: Elevated Radiation Background,
    The presence of harmful emissions of chemical industries and T.D.

    On results
    tuberculinidiagnostics can also influence various violations in
    methodology of it: transportation and storage of tuberculin, with
    the use of non-standard and poor-quality tools,
    Errors in the technique of setting and reading the reactions of Mantu.

    WITH
    Accounting of the above factors, in an isolated form by itself
    Manta's positive reaction is not 100% proof
    infection with tuberculosis. To confirm the diagnosis required
    hold a number of other studies – Exception of communication with the Vaccination BCG,
    Chest fluorography, microbiological sowing sputum and row
    Others. In turn, the negative result does not give 100% warranty
    Absence in the body of koche sticks.



    Why do you need a test manta?

    Rather
    So, do you need a manta test at all? At this expense WHO is responsible
    Affirmative – Yes, for countries with high relevance of tuberculosis
    (these are Ukraine and most of the CIS countries in this
    moment) this test is one of the effective measures to control infection.
    Even in those countries where the relevance of tuberculosis is small, for example in
    USA and France, Mantu sample applies quite actively – To identify
    infected with tuberculosis in high-risk groups.

    Reaction (sample) Mantu is needed for:

    • identifying primary-infected, that is, those who first identified the fact of infection with a tuberculosis stick;
    • identifying more than one year infected with hypeergic reactions to tuberculin;
    • more than one year infected with an increase in infiltrate by 6 mm and more;
    • Diagnostics
      tuberculosis in individuals who are infected with Koha's wand, but do not show,
      at the moment, symptoms of the disease; Confirmation of diagnosis
      tuberculosis;
    • Selection of contingents of children to be revaccinated against tuberculosis.

    Selection
    Children and adolescents for revaccination is carried out according to the results of the sample
    Mantu in 6–7 and 14–15 years. In areas where epidemiological situation
    on tuberculosis is unfavorable, revaccination is carried out in 6–7,
    eleven–12 and 16–17 years. BCG revaccination is subject to healthy faces only with
    Negative reaction to tuberculin.



    Contraindications for the formulation of the sample Mantu

    Follow
    emphasize that the test manta is harmless to healthy
    children and adolescents and for children with various somatic
    Diseases. Tuberculin does not contain alive microorganisms, and in
    Applied dosage 2 te (0.1 ml) does not affect the immune system
    organism, nor on the whole body as a whole.

    Staging
    Samples does not make sense in children under 12 months, for the result of the sample
    will be unreliable or inaccurate, in connection with age characteristics
    development of the immune system – The reaction may be false negative. Children
    under 6 months are unable to adequately respond to the manta sample.

    Contraindications to carrying out tuberculin samples are:

    • skin diseases;
    • sharp
      and chronic infectious and somatic diseases in the stage
      exacerbations (test manta is placed 1 month after the disappearance of all
      clinical symptoms or immediately after filing quarantine);
    • allergic conditions;
    • epilepsy.

    Not
    Samples are allowed in those teams where there is a quarantine
    Children's infections. Manta test is made 1 month after
    disappearances of all clinical symptoms or immediately after removal
    quarantine.



    Mantu and Vaccination Reaction

    In view of
    the fact that immunity generated by vaccinations can affect
    on the result of the sample Mantu, its setting should not be carried out in one
    day with whatever vaccinations. Otherwise
    The risk of false positive reactions increases.

    Everything and even a little more about the test manta
    At the same time, immediately after evaluating the results of the sample, on the same day or later, vaccinations can be carried out without restrictions.

    If
    Vaccinations are held before sampling, then for exception
    Interval inflation between the introduction of inactivated (killed)
    vaccines such as against influenza, diphtheria and tetanus and t.NS., and
    Mantu reaction formulation should be at least 4 weeks. This is B
    Equally applies to the introduction of serums and immunoglobulins. When
    carrying vaccinations with alive vaccines (measles, vapotitis, rubella, OPV and
    T.NS.) This interval is desirable to increase to 6 weeks.



    How is the test manta?

    Special
    tuberculin syringe intraderially (medium third of the inner
    The surface of the forearm) is introduced tuberculin in the recalculation of 2 tuberculosis
    Units (those). The volume of the administered dose is 0.1 ml. Needle introduced
    cut up to the depth sufficient in order to graduate
    The hole completely plunged into the skin.

    In order to make sure
    that the needle did not penetrate the skin and provide intradermal
    Introduction, the needle is slightly lifted by pulling the skin. After
    The administration of tuberculin is formed by a specific blowout of the upper layer
    skin better known as «Butt».



    How to care for «Butt»?

    Most
    simple answer – no way. In any case, until the results are evaluating.
    Do not smear the place of samples of the sample with green, peroxide. Not necessary
    Skip the wreky flacoplasty – Under it, the skin can sweat. Not
    allow the child to comb «Butt». remember, that
    Incorrect departure of the administration of tuberculin may affect
    the result of the sample, and this is not necessary to the patient nor a doctor.

    After
    Estimates of the results, if the guns or an ulcer was formed, it can be
    process as any other wound, using all traditional
    Tools.



    How the results are estimated?

    «No matter
    As voted, it is important how calculated» – Authorship of this commodity
    Positions about the elections are attributed to Stalin. Can not disagree with
    Chief – The most important thing in the manta sample is not a formulation, but its assessment
    results, and even more important – Conclusions from the results of the sample assessment.

    After
    administration of tuberculin, 2–3 day a specific seal is formed
    Skin – T.N. «papule» (Infiltrate, seal). Everything and even a little more about the test mantaIt looks like
    Rounded skin Round skin. At easy pressing on
    it is a transparent ruler (or if you press and let go of your finger)
    Must beat slightly. Unlike simple redness, feel
    (although it is not always possible to catch your fingers) Papula is different from
    surrounding the skin with its consistency – It is more dense.

    WITH
    the point of view of the anatomy, this papule is the result of his
    kind of skin saturation by cells, namely lymphocytes,
    sensitized (that is, sensitive) to koche.
    Naturally, the larger in the body «knowledgeable» About mycobacteria
    lymphocytes, the more infiltrate (papula).

    The size
    Papulas are measured with sufficient lighting transparent (so that
    The maximum infiltration diameter is visible) for 3 days (after 48–72
    hours) after the introduction of Tuberculina. The ruler should be located
    transversely to the longitudinal axis of the forearm. It is not allowed to apply for
    Measurement Thermometer and others «Screw materials» like a millimeter
    Paper and homemade limies from x-ray film. Measured only
    Seal size. Redness around the seal is not a sign
    Immunity to tuberculosis or infection, but it
    registered when there is no papule.

    Exist
    some «versions» Setting and evaluating the results of the test Mantu. Strictly
    Talking, tuberculin can be administered in several ways – OK
    (reaction pirch), intradermal (ordinary manta) and with plastic
    applicators, at the pointed ends of which tuberculin is applied (in
    Supplement can be applied by other substances for simultaneous
    sets of other samples).

    We will focus on two
    approaches to the evaluation of the results – Russian and American. Follow
    Immediately emphasize that in addition to the methods of assessment differ and methods
    Settings. So in domestic practice, the manta sample is put with 2 Those
    while in the US put a sample with 5. American assessment method
    Different with taking into account the degree of risk of infection with tuberculosis of this
    Patient, depending on this is interpreted and the size of infiltrate.
