     X-RAY  PRESENCE AND EXTENT OF THE DISEASE
     ACID FAST BACILLI
     SPUTUM CULTURE
     TUBERCULIN SKIN TEST- (MANTOUX TEST)-to determine whether the pt. has been infected with
    the TB bacillus.
    PPD-purified protein derivative
    -intradermal (4 inches below the elbow), 26-27 G needle, intermediate strength PPD
    -result read within 48-72hours
    -induration o-4 mm not significant
    5 and above significant in person who considered to be at risk
