  • A.Malaria
  • B.Tuberculosis
  • C.Cancer
  • D.Diphtheria

Answer: B

The Mantoux test is a skin test used to identify tuberculosis infection, option B.

Malaria is diagnosed by blood smear, cancer by biopsy and imaging, and diphtheria by the Schick test or throat swab.

In the Mantoux test, a small amount of tuberculin protein is injected under the skin of the forearm, and the size of the raised area after 48 to 72 hours shows whether the person has been exposed to the tuberculosis bacterium. It is not used for malaria, cancer or diphtheria.
