Aplisol® (Tuberculin Purified Protein Derivative, Diluted [stabilized solution])
5 TU/0.1 mL

Tuberculin PPD is indicated as an aid in the detection of infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The standard tuberculin test employs the intradermal (Mantoux) test using a 5 TU dose of tuberculin PPD. The 0.1 mL test dose of Aplisol (tuberculin PPD, diluted) is equivalent to the 5 TU dose which has been clinically utilized and standardized with PPD-S. Tuberculin skin testing is not contraindicated for persons who have been vaccinated with BCG and the skin-test results of such persons are used to support or exclude the diagnosis of M. tuberculosis infections. HIV infection is a strong risk factor for the development of TB disease in persons having TB infection. All HIV-infected persons should receive a PPD-tuberculin skin test.

How is Aplisol different from other tuberculin PPD products available in the market?

Aplisol is standardized with PPD-S and uses a 0.1 mL test dose equivalent to a 5 TU dose, which has been clinically utilized and standardized, distinguishing it from other tuberculin PPD products [Manufacturer Info].

What are the key steps in administering the Mantoux test using Aplisol?

Administer Aplisol intradermally using a 0.1 mL dose (5 TU) into the forearm, observe for 48-72 hours, and measure the induration to assess for a positive reaction [Manufacturer Info].

Is Aplisol safe for patients who have previously received the BCG vaccine?

Yes, Aplisol is safe for patients who have been vaccinated with BCG; the vaccine does not contraindicate the use of Aplisol for tuberculin skin testing [Manufacturer Info].

Can Aplisol still be used safely and effectively in patients who are HIV positive?

Aplisol is safe and effective for HIV-infected individuals, as HIV infection is a significant risk factor for TB, and these patients should receive a PPD-tuberculin skin test [Manufacturer Info].

What is the proper storage method for a vial of Aplisol to ensure its stability and effectiveness?

Store Aplisol vials in a refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C; avoid freezing and protect from light to maintain stability and effectiveness [Product Specs].

How can I determine if a reaction to the Aplisol test is positive and what would the next steps be?

A positive reaction is typically indicated by an induration of 15 mm or more at the injection site; confirmatory diagnostic tests such as a chest X-ray or sputum test may follow [Manufacturer Info].
