What disease is screened for by the Mendel-Mantoux test?

My grandmother died from TB when Mum was just a few weeks old. As grandmother obviously had the illness while carrying mum my mum was immune, and that immunity has passed to me.

Player #272443, better than the horrible scaring puncture one I've got.

Hate needles in my arm.

penawareof, When I was in first grade the nurse pulled the syringe out, but the needle stayed there. I cried like a baby. lol

I remember getting one of those when applying for a food handler license.

RushMama2112, student nurses and full time nurses get them yearly.

quicksilver, you still don't have life time coverage. All you know for sure is that you didn't have TB then .

old enough that I only knew the Tine test so I eliminated TB
