Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to test the recombinant tuberculosis skin test in the previously BCG vaccinated healthy adults with low risk of TB development, to determine the test specificity.

Detailed Description

Recombinant tuberculosis allergen (RTA) is a recombinant fusion protein CFP10-ESAT6 produced by the prokaryotic cell line. The test is widely used in Russian Federation and CIS countries for the laten...
