The<unk>  or Mendel–Mantoux<unk>  (also known as the<unk>  screening<unk> , tuberculin sensitivity<unk> , Pirquet<unk> , or PPD<unk>  for purified protein derivative) is a tool for screening for tuberculosis (TB) and for tuberculosis diagnosis. It is one of the major tuberculin skin<unk> s used around the world, largely replacing multiple-puncture<unk> s such as the tine<unk> . The Heaf<unk> , a form of tine<unk> , was used until 2005 in the UK, when it was replaced by the<unk> . The<unk>  is endorsed by the American Thoracic Society and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It was also used in the USSR and is now prevalent in most of the post-Soviet states.
