About Siiltibcy
Siiltibcy is a product that contains two proteins from the bacterium M. tuberculosis produced in a laboratory.
What it is used for
Siiltibcy is used to determine if a person is infected by M. tuberculosis or has tuberculosis (the disease caused by M. tuberculosis).
How it is used
Siiltibcy can only be obtained with a prescription. It is given as an injection in the skin of the forearm. The injection should be prepared and given by a trained healthcare professional, using a technique called the Mantoux technique. The injection causes induration (hardening) at the site. By measuring the size of the induration, 48 to 72 hours after the injection, the doctor will determine if the person is infected.
How it works
Siiltibcy activates the immune system, which leads to inflammation at the site of injection, seen as an induration. An induration size over 5 millimetres 48 to 72 hours after injection indicates an infection.
Active substance: Not specified.
