Pronunciation: [tjˈuːbəkjˌʊlɪn tˈɛsts] (IPA) 
Tuberculin tests are medical diagnostic procedures that are used to detect tuberculosis in individuals. There are various synonyms that are commonly used for tuberculin tests, depending on the specific type of test being administered. Examples of synonyms for the tuberculin tests include Mantoux test, PPD test, TST (tuberculin skin test) and intradermal tuberculin test. Each of these tests involves injecting a small amount of purified protein derivative (PPD) under the skin, and then monitoring the response of the immune system to the PPD.
