MODEL RELEASED. Mantoux solution,tuberculosis (TB) test. The syringe will be used to inject Mantoux solution (containing tuberculin) from the vial into the skin of a patient's arm. The immune response will determine whether the patient has TB,an infection by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It usually infects the lungs and can cause severe scarring. Once diagnosed,a TB infection is treated by a course of antibiotic drugs,often several taken in combination. If the infection is not completely eradicated,then drug-resistant forms can develop.
