The frequency of tuberculosis diagnosis is increasing every year. Since the disease is characterized by high mortality, all newborns are given the BCG vaccine. Vaccination is necessary to determine the body's susceptibility to tuberculosis. A planned control measure before the age of 14 is the Mantoux test, which also has contraindications.
Mantoux - pros and cons
The Mantoux test is a test that determines the presence of tuberculosis infection in a child’s body. A tuberculin test is not a vaccination; it is an examination of a child for the presence of tuberculosis. The Mantoux test indicates the presence of infection. The preventive test allows you to:
- identify the disease at an early stage;
- detect infected children or confirm the presence of the disease;
- establish the symptoms of latent tuberculosis.
Interesting fact! R. Koch invented the substance in 1890, and C. Mantoux proposed diagnosing children using this vaccine in 1908.
To conduct an immunological study, children are injected with tuberculin, a solution of tuberculosis allergens. The procedure can only be performed after BCG vaccination. If the child has not been vaccinated, then tuberculosis testing is carried out 2 times a year.
Normal reaction to the Mantoux test
A tuberculin injection is administered under the skin of the inner forearms. The test result can be assessed 3 days after the injection. A swollen papule with infiltrate forms at the puncture site. The doctor visually assesses the condition of the skin, guided by the requirements of the World Health Organization.
A negative tuberculin test reaction without enlargement of the papule is normal. The size of the button should not exceed 1 mm, redness is not allowed skin. In order not to distort the reaction, it is forbidden to wash or scratch the button. During this period, it is necessary to exclude allergenic products from the diet.
A negative reaction also indicates the absence of an immune response against tuberculosis. In this case, parents are offered a second vaccination. With a scar whose size does not exceed 2 mm, immunity lasts 3 years, up to next vaccination at 7 years of age, protection remains with a scar of 8 mm.
Tuberculosis infection is diagnosed when a hyperergic reaction occurs, when the papule grows to 16 mm or more. A questionable or positive tuberculin test is detected in most children under 7 years of age. In a 6-year-old child, a weakly positive reaction is considered a good result when the BCG scar reaches large sizes.
A cause for concern is a sharp increase in papules throughout the year. Even if last year the result was negative, then a swelling of 7 mm becomes a reason for examining a small patient at a TB clinic. Such indicators may indicate infection.
Temporary and absolute contraindications to vaccination
The tuberculin test is a completely safe procedure for healthy children. The presence of somatic pathology is not a contraindication to the Mantoux test.
Note! The results of a preventive test may be distorted by a recent history of infectious disease, another vaccination, chronic disease.
The Mantoux reaction is characterized by the presence of 2 categories of contraindications.
Absolute, at which it is prohibited to conduct a test. If the ban is ignored, Mantoux leads to irreversible consequences. The doctor’s responsibility is to study the child’s chart before the procedure.
Temporary, the presence of which prohibits the administration of the vaccine at the time of their relevance. After a certain time period, the test can be carried out. The specialist must assess the child’s health status before performing the manipulation.
This group includes the following prohibitions:
- individual intolerance to the components of the drug;
- the presence of serious consequences as a result of BCG vaccination in childhood;
- neurological diseases.
In such cases, they refuse to carry out a tuberculin test so as not to harm the child’s body.
Temporary contraindications
The presence of contraindications of this kind can distort the results and cause complications. The Mantoux reaction is not recommended for the following pathological conditions:
- Elevated temperature. This condition may indicate inflammatory phenomena, exacerbation chronic diseases.
- Cough. The reflex indicates allergies, bronchitis, colds, asthma. The test is performed after the causes of the cough have been established and it has been eliminated.
- Runny nose. Rhinitis can be a symptom of sinusitis. You should get tested and treat the painful symptom.
- Such pathologies require examination by a dermatologist. The Mantoux test should be postponed for a month.
- It is necessary to identify the exact cause of the malaise, as it may indicate the presence of intestinal infection.
- Tuberculin weakens the child’s body’s defense response. The test is performed 3 weeks after recovery.
- Should be eliminated acute manifestations pathology.
- Recently received another vaccination. Mantoux cannot be combined with other vaccines. Therefore, after vaccination, the test is not carried out for a month.
Only a doctor should decide whether to perform the Mantoux test. The choice is made based on the collected medical history and the test results obtained.
Side effects and complications in children
If the doctor does not take into account the established restrictions or violates the technique of conducting the tuberculin test, this leads to the development of complications. Children may develop such side effects:
- increase in body temperature;
- headache;
- fast fatiguability;
- exacerbation of diseases;
- allergic manifestations;
- formation of suppuration and ulcers in the papule;
- necrosis of tissue structures.
To avoid such reactions, you should consider individual characteristics child's body. This will reduce the risk of complications after the Mantoux test in children.
Tuberculosis – dangerous disease, affecting the respiratory system. The disease is transmitted by airborne droplets, therefore, to protect the fragile child’s body from the effects of the virus, vaccination is carried out. Vaccination against tuberculosis (BCG) is done upon discharge from the maternity hospital, on days 3-7 from birth. Starting from the age of one year, every year the child is given a Mantoux test, the results of which determine the presence of Koch bacillus in the body. Despite its undoubted benefits, the procedure has a number of contraindications that parents need to be aware of.
Composition of the Mantoux sample
The Mantoux test is not a vaccination, as some parents mistakenly believe, but a way to diagnose the disease in children. The first time it is given to a child is 12 months after the BCG vaccination, i.e. at the age of 1 year.
To determine the absence of pathogens in the body, it is necessary to administer the drug subcutaneously. The result is determined after three days by the size of the “button” formed at the injection site. For reliable results, during this period your hand should not be wetted or scratched.
The composition of the drug includes:
- tuberculin – processed and neutralized fragments of tuberculosis bacteria;
- phenol is a toxic drug that, in case of overdose, can negatively affect health, reduce immunity, and disrupt heart function (its meager content in the injection makes the procedure safe);
- Polysorbate Tween-80 – used as a stabilizer, in large quantities can cause hormonal imbalance by increasing estrogen levels (safety is achieved by reducing the dose of the drug in injection);
- phosphate salts - necessary to weaken pathogens;
- saline solution - used to provide a convenient form of injection, safe, does not cause allergies.
Contraindications
Before administering the Mantoux vaccination, it is necessary to undergo an examination by a pediatrician every year to exclude the presence of contraindications. A correctly performed procedure guarantees an accurate diagnostic result.
There are contraindications to the procedure:
- Absolute. Before the Mantoux test, the doctor must study the child’s chart, since the administration of the drug with absolute contraindications provokes development serious problems with health.
- Temporary. If they are present, the Mantoux test should be postponed.
In what cases is tuberculin diagnostics prohibited? The Mantoux test is not performed if there is the following diseases and states:
- complications after BCG vaccination;
- epilepsy;
- bronchial asthma.
Temporary contraindications include:
Colds
The presence of colds in children, including those occurring without an increase in body temperature, is a reason to postpone the analysis. If the child has a cough, the procedure is postponed until full recovery and eliminating symptoms. If you have a runny nose, tuberculin testing should be postponed for a month.
Before the procedure, you should take a blood and urine test; this action is necessary to exclude possible illness. If Mantoux is administered for colds, this leads to complications, since the vaccine has an additional effect on the immune system. In addition, the result of the study may be incorrect.
Temperature increase
A slight increase in body temperature indicates the presence of an inflammatory or infectious process in the body in the acute phase. Powers immune system are aimed at combating pathogens, an additional load in the form of a Mantoux test aggravates the situation and affects the reliability of the result. In this case, the procedure is postponed for 2-3 weeks and is carried out after the tests have been completed.
Diarrhea
Diarrhea can be caused by severe poisoning or an intestinal infection. If diarrhea is present, it is necessary to determine the causes of its occurrence. If diarrhea began as a result of eating stale food, the Mantoux test can be done seven days after the symptoms have resolved. If you have an intestinal infection, you need to undergo a full course of treatment and undergo tests before the procedure. A tuberculin test is not performed in case of severe gas formation, nausea and vomiting.
Neurological diseases
Depending on the type neurological disease The Mantoux test is canceled for an indefinite period of time or not performed at all. Before the procedure, you need to consult with a pediatrician about the possible consequences and undergo an examination. A tuberculin test is done if there is no risk of developing complications of existing diseases. For some types of diseases, a medical exemption lasts for life.
Skin diseases
If any type of skin rash is present, diagnosis should be postponed. Parents should report pathology before the procedure if the stains are not visible under clothing.
In order for the result to be true, the tuberculin test is performed on clean skin, without traces of insect bites or scratching. The introduction of the drug in this case aggravates the situation.
Presence of allergic reactions
Exacerbation of allergies several days before the Mantoux reaction is a contraindication. ABOUT possible allergies It is necessary to notify the pediatrician, the doctor will determine the need and possibility of conducting a tuberculin test. Administration of a vaccine during an exacerbation of allergies gives false positive result. If necessary, before the procedure, you can give the child antihistamine.
When else can you not do the Mantoux test?
Before the procedure, you must sign a consent form. If parents still have doubts about the child’s health or the literacy of the staff, it is better to refuse the test. In this case, you must draw up a written refusal. You should coordinate your decisions with your pediatrician in order to reduce the development of adverse reactions and not harm the baby by refusing a tuberculosis test.
Vaccination and revaccination
The tuberculin test cannot be done together with vaccination and revaccination. Since introduction last vaccination at least a month must pass if injections with killed viruses were used. When introducing live bacteria, the withdrawal period increases to 2 months. This is necessary to restore the body's defenses. After vaccination, the immune system fights incoming viruses, and if tuberculin is administered at this time, the body may produce an unexpected reaction.
Quarantine in a child care facility
Availability of quarantine in kindergarten or friend educational institution which the child is visiting is a contraindication to performing a tuberculosis test. If the defenses have coped with the viruses and the baby does not get sick, the bacteria can still be in the body, but their growth is suppressed by the immune system. A tuberculin test administered at this time can reduce the protective properties, provoking the development of the disease.
In addition, during the quarantine period, the disease may be incubation stage, i.e. the child is already sick, but the virus does not manifest itself in any way. In this case, the Mantoux test disrupts the immune system, contributing to the appearance of symptoms (cough, runny nose). Diagnostics are allowed to be carried out no less than 30 days after quarantine is lifted.
Side effects
Side effects are caused by individual components of the drug (tuberculin or phenol). These include:
Harm is caused to the body when Mantoux is given in the presence of diseases. Most often, diagnosis is carried out in the fall, during the period of exacerbation of colds. Parents should inform the doctor during the examination about the detected symptoms, since it is difficult to identify the disease in the early stages. Measures to prevent side effects:
- do not feed your baby new foods 3 days before and after the procedure;
- avoid visiting places where large numbers of people gather;
- give an antihistamine if there is a risk of developing an allergy;
- exclude physical exercise, let the child sleep before the procedure.
Possible complications
In rare cases, complications may occur after the procedure:
- Obtaining a false positive or false negative result. If the test gives a positive reaction in the absence of disease, the child is prescribed unnecessary treatment with the use of strong drugs. They can cause serious harm to the body. To clarify the diagnosis, an X-ray examination is performed, which can result in a harmful dose of radiation. If the reaction is negative, if the baby is sick, he does not receive the necessary therapy.
- Tuberculin in large quantities causes abnormalities in cell division, such an effect destroys the genetic apparatus.
- The occurrence of a disease in which the number of platelets in the blood decreases. With absence necessary treatment this can lead to cerebral hemorrhage and death.
- Pathologies reproductive organs under the influence of phenol.
- Development of a severe allergic reaction in the form of pustules, spots, rashes, enlarged lymph nodes.
The reason for the development of complications after Mantoux may be the illiterate actions of medical personnel during the procedure. The test must be done following the following rules:
- Give the injection with a sterile needle and syringe. The packaging is printed immediately before the procedure.
- Only immerse the needle in the solution.
- The injection site must be disinfected with alcohol.
- Change gloves before each patient.
The Mantoux reaction in children is not a vaccination, but skin test- one of the diagnostic methods. This method is based on the intradermal injection of tuberculin.
In children under 7 years of age, this is the main method of mass diagnosis of tuberculosis, and is considered the safest.
The Mantoux test in children is used for early diagnosis tuberculosis, identifying newly infected individuals, children with increasing sensitivity to tuberculin. And also for selecting children for BCG vaccination. In addition, in patients to determine the activity of the tuberculosis process and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment.
For children aged 8 to 14 years (and for schoolchildren up to 17 years old), the main method for diagnosing tuberculosis is
And in adolescents over 14 years of age and adults, the main method for detecting early forms of tuberculosis is fluorography.
Tuberculin is a waste product of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It consists of proteins, polysaccharides and nucleic acid; it does not contain bacteria themselves. Contains Tween-80 as a stabilizer and phenol as a preservative. Available in the form of a solution: a colorless transparent liquid.
Tuberculin is a hapten (incomplete allergen). It is not capable of inducing the formation of antibodies, i.e. immune response. But it can bind to ready-made antibodies in a previously sensitized organism (this is a person spontaneously tuberculosis infected or vaccinated with BCG), causing a local allergic reaction.
That is, when tuberculin is administered intradermally in sensitized (sensitive to tuberculin) individuals, a local allergic reaction of a delayed type develops at the injection site, strictly specific to mycobacterium tuberculosis. An area of redness and raised (swelling) skin. Positive test Mantoux is possible only for those people who have Mycobacterium tuberculosis in their bodies.
Mantoux reaction in children How often can it be repeated?
1. Healthy children vaccinated with BCG undergo the Mantoux test once a year from 12 months to 7 years.
- Sufferers diabetes mellitus, peptic ulcer, blood diseases, systemic diseases, receiving hormone therapy more than 1 month HIV-infected.
- Frequently ill people suffering from chronic kidney and respiratory diseases.
- Unvaccinated with BCG.
3. If necessary, for example, when examining a child for tuberculosis, preparing for BCG vaccination, Mantoux is repeated at shorter intervals (up to 1 month). This does not harm the child.
It is fundamentally important to regularly perform the Mantoux test on a child at least once a year, since it is assessed over time and compared with previous tests. Based on the results of one single r. Mantoux no conclusions can be drawn. If parents do it to their child occasionally, once every 2-3 years, it can be problematic to understand the results.
Mantoux test in children Contraindications
Mantoux is harmless for healthy children and children suffering various diseases. But diseases and previous vaccinations can affect the sensitivity of a child’s skin to tuberculin, strengthening or weakening it. Thus, making it difficult to subsequently evaluate the results. This is the reason for the following contraindications for the Mantoux test.
- Common skin diseases.
- Acute and chronic diseases (including epilepsy) during the period of exacerbation until the disappearance of symptoms or recovery.
- Allergic conditions in the acute phase.
- Quarantine in the group for childhood infections - until quarantine is lifted.
Since vaccinations can also affect the test results, Mantoux is carried out 3 days before any scheduled vaccination or no earlier than 1 month after it. And vaccination is authorized by the doctor only after assessing the Mantoux results 72 hours after it has been administered.
To avoid distortion of the results of the Mantoux test, it is recommended that all children, especially small ones and those prone to allergic reactions, take a week before the Mantoux test and before it is checked.
- Do not introduce foods new to the child into the diet.
- Eliminate from the diet high allergenic products(chocolate, cocoa, sweets, citrus fruits, strawberries, peaches, eggs and chicken dishes.
- As well as other products that have ever caused an allergic reaction in a child.
- For children suffering allergic diseases with frequent clinical manifestations It is recommended to carry out the Mantoux test against the background of antihistamines (antiallergic) drugs in age-specific doses 7 days before the Mantoux test and 2 days after. For a specific allergic reaction infectious nature, which happens with tuberculosis. Antihistamines have no effect on infection.
Mantoux reaction in children Rules
If the child does not attend school or kindergarten, then the Mantoux test is performed in the clinic. The first time Mantoux is usually done at 1 year of age (excluding children not vaccinated with BCG). Then repeat once a year.
The Mantoux reaction is carried out in the clinic separately from other vaccinations, on a different day. Before the Mantoux reaction, the child is examined by a pediatrician in the clinic.
If a child attends a children's group, Mantu is held at school only in the first grade, usually in September, and in kindergarten in March - April at the same time for all children of the kindergarten. Parents should be warned in advance about the Mantoux test for their child.
1 tuberculin ampoule contains 10 - 30 doses of the drug, depending on the volume of the ampoule. An opened ampoule may be stored under aseptic conditions for no more than 2 hours.
Mantoux is performed with a special tuberculin syringe. The skin of the forearm is treated with alcohol. The drug is administered strictly intradermally in the area of the middle third of the forearm with a thin needle, cut upward. If everything is done correctly, a “lemon peel” will form at the injection site - a whitish papule, 5-10 mm in size, which disappears after 15-20 minutes.
Right and left hand alternate. In even years, Mantoux is given to all children. right hand, in odd to the left. But it doesn’t matter of fundamental importance which hand it is played in. The child’s card must indicate the date of the Mantu River and in which hand it was made.
After Mantoux
It is recommended to protect the site of tuberculin injection from mechanical irritation. Do not scratch, do not rub, if water gets on your hand - it will not cause harm, dry it with cotton wool or a soft towel, using blotting movements. It is not recommended to cover the injection site with a bandage - the skin underneath it sweats.
Mantoux test in children Accounting for results
Accounting r. Mantoux is carried out after 72 hours, i.e. on the third day from the date of administration. By measuring in mm. using a transparent ruler, the size of the papule transverse to the axis of the forearm (compaction and elevation at the site of drug administration). Parents must ensure that the child’s Mantoux River is checked on the 3rd day. Otherwise, conducting a test makes no sense. The doctor can see her later. But the results will be unreliable. The size of the papule will decrease, etc.
If there is no papule, the diameter of the hyperemia (redness at the injection site, without compaction or elevation) is measured. That is, a doctor or specially trained honey. The sister first checks by touch with her finger whether there is a papule, roughly determines its boundaries, and then measures it with a ruler. The measurement results in mm are entered in medical card child.
Mantoux test in children Evaluation of results
R. Mantoux is considered
- Negative - if there are no reactions (redness, thickening) at the injection site, except for the injection mark.
- Doubtful - if there is hyperemia of any size without a papule or a papule of 2-4 mm in diameter.
- Positive - if there is a papule measuring 5-15 mm.
- Hyperergic - in children if the size of the papule is 16 mm or more, in adults it is 21 mm or more. And also in the presence of vesiculonecrotic reactions (bubbles and peeling at the injection site, lymphangitis), regardless of the size of the papule.
Because in Russia, all children (with a few exceptions) undergo BCG vaccination, most of them have immunity to tuberculosis and sensitivity (sensitization) to tuberculin. Therefore, in the majority of children vaccinated with BCG (60%), Mantoux is positive when administered at 12 months. This is absolutely normal. The doctor indicates the size of the papule on the card and writes: post-vaccination allergy. This means that the child is immune to tuberculosis.
Typically, the size of the papule after the Mantoux reaction depends on the size of the BCG scar: the larger the scar, the larger the papule. Maximum immunity to tuberculosis, and therefore largest dimensions Mantoux is reached 1-2 years after. Over time, the mycobacteria in the BCG rumen gradually die. Immunity to tuberculosis weakens. Sensitivity to tuberculin too. Therefore, the diameter of the papule after the Mantoux reaction should decrease with age. For example: 1 year - 12mm; 2 years - (11-13) mm; 3 years - 10mm; 4 years - 8 mm, 5 years - 7 mm, etc. If Mantoux, instead of decreasing, increases, the child is probably infected with the tuberculosis bacillus from environment. This situation requires consultation with a phthisiatrician.
Less often, the Mantoux River in children is questionable. It is impossible to say with certainty whether a child has immunity to tuberculosis. But there is also no reason to worry.
If the Mantoux test is negative, then the child does not have immunity to tuberculosis. But he also does not have the causative agent of tuberculosis in his body. Such children most often do not have a scar after BCG vaccination, or it is difficult to detect.
Children are referred to a phthisiatrician in the following cases:
- With suspicion of a change in tuberculin tests: if Mantoux suddenly became positive from negative or increased by 6 mm or more over the year.
- With increasing sensitivity to tuberculin: if the size of the papule, instead of decreasing, increases annually.
- With a persistently preserved river. Mantoux 12 mm or more.
- With a hyperergic Mantoux reaction: for children it is 16 mm or more.
Further examination of the child and establishment of a final diagnosis is carried out by
If the parents categorically refuse to perform the Mantoux test, the child should be examined for tuberculosis by other methods. Alternative options are x-ray examination chest(radiography of the OGK, diaskintest, T-SPOT, quantiferon test.
In accordance with regulatory documents (sanitary and epidemiological rules SP 3.1.1295-03 “Prevention of Tuberculosis”), the administration of children's institutions has the right to not allow children who have not been examined for tuberculosis into groups until a conclusion from a phthisiatrician is provided.
The article was written in accordance with the materials of the order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation No. 109 dated March 21, 2003. “On improving anti-tuberculosis measures in Russian Federation"and instructions for use of the drug "Purified tuberculosis allergen in standard dilution (Tuberculin)."

The number of people suffering from tuberculosis poses a serious danger to the surrounding population. Unfortunately, Russia is one of the countries where there is actually an undeclared tuberculosis epidemic. The culprit of this most dangerous disease is the tuberculosis bacillus, which has been killing a large number of the population for a long time.
Nowadays, one of the mandatory routine vaccinations is given to all newborn children. mandatory. Then small child It is also mandatory to do the Mantoux test, which is a tuberculin test. Moreover, some doctors are not at all concerned about the issue of possible contraindications to Mantoux, but they exist.
The Mantoux test, also called the Pirquet test or tuberculin test, is the main method for testing the activity of a person’s anti-tuberculosis immunity. It has been repeatedly noted that from an infectious and toxicological point of view, tuberculin is considered a safe substance, but it is highly allergenic, which is extremely dangerous for children who are susceptible to frequent allergic reactions to medications. The special drug tuberculin injected into the child’s skin has a rather complex composition. In addition to tuberculin itself, the drug contains sodium chloride, salts of phosphate buffer solution, Tween-80 stabilizer, and phenol, which is used as an acceptable preservative.
For some children, this composition is often a reason for contraindications to Mantoux. When conducting a tuberculin test, it is necessary to take into account many factors that speak volumes about the inadmissibility of its use. Such contraindications include some skin diseases to which the patient is susceptible. It is not advisable to perform the Mantoux test for existing chronic diseases that are in the acute stage. If a child has acute somatic (physical) diseases not related to mental state, then Mantoux contraindications also apply to it. Carrying out this medical procedure should be postponed for about a month. It is important to wait until all existing symptoms disappear. It is not recommended to perform the Mantoux test if the child has a disease such as bronchial asthma. A disease such as epilepsy is considered an extremely unfavorable factor.
The main purpose of the Mantoux test is to test for the presence of stable immunity to the dangerous disease tuberculosis. When conducting this test, you should definitely take into account the fact that the test should be carried out separately from various routine vaccinations. Otherwise, there is a high probability of false positive reactions to tuberculosis. Considering the existing contraindications to Mantoux, this procedure should be carried out within a month before or after the procedure. In the case of using live vaccines, which are used for vaccination against measles or rubella, the required time interval between procedures should be already one and a half months.
It is not advisable to conduct a routine Mantoux test in preschool institutions where quarantine was declared some time ago. Accurate response indicators can only be obtained after month period after quarantine. It's important to disappear clinical symptoms the disease that caused the quarantine.
So, the main contraindications of Mantoux are associated with frequent allergic reactions of the child’s body. Some are also known side effects after a tuberculin test. In some cases, the Mantoux test causes problems with intestinal function, and constipation may occur. Doctor prescribing this procedure, must warn of possible consequences. Quite often, a reaction to tuberculin used during vaccination is headache, increased body temperature, sometimes fever, dizziness, allergic swelling at the site of exposure.
In some children with an extremely high degree of sensitivity, a side reaction is the occurrence of lymphangitis and lymphadenitis - inflammation lymphatic vessels and nodes. In any case, before performing the Mantoux test, it is necessary to thoroughly study all possible contraindications similar impact. Be healthy!
