The Tuberculin market is a segment of the Infectious Disease Testing industry that focuses on the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB). Tuberculin tests are used to detect the presence of TB-causing bacteria in a patient's body. The test involves the injection of a small amount of purified protein derivative (PPD) into the patient's skin. If the patient has been exposed to TB, the body will produce an immune response, which can be detected by the test. Tuberculin tests are used in a variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, and public health departments. They are also used to screen individuals for TB infection prior to entering certain countries. The tests are relatively inexpensive and easy to administer, making them a popular choice for TB diagnosis. The Tuberculin market is highly competitive, with a number of companies offering products and services. Some of the major players in the market include Abbott Laboratories, Becton Dickinson, Cepheid, Hologic, and Qiagen. Show Less Read more
