Diaskintest® (recombinant tuberculous allergen in standard dilution) – innovative intradermal diagnostic test, which is a recombinant protein, containing two related antigens - ESAT6 and CFP10, typical for pathogenic strains of mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis)^[1]. These antigens are absent in the Mycobacterium bovis BCG vaccine strain and in most non-tuberculous mycobacteria, therefore Diaskintest® induces an immune response only to mycobacterium tuberculosis and does not give a reaction, associated with BCG vaccination. Thanks to these qualities, Diaskintest® has practically 100% sensitivity and specificity^[2], minimizing the likelihood of developing false positive reactions, which in 40-60% of cases are observed when using the traditional intradermal tuberculin test (Mantoux test)^[3]. The technique of setting Diaskintest and recording the results is identical to the Mantoux test with tuberculin^[4].

In Russia, the use of Diaskintest is approved in 2009 year by the Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation 855 from 29 october 2009 r.⁴ Read completely »
