2.3 Other hazards

Aplisol (tuberculin PPD, diluted) is a sterile aqueous solution of a purified protein fraction isolated from a human strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis for intradermal administration as an aid in the diagnosis of tuberculosis. Common adverse effects associated with use include local, as well as, systemic hypersensitivity reactions (redness, rash, swelling, itching, anaphylaxis). In a workplace setting, the likelihood of systemic effects following accidental ingestion is low, due to the rapid breakdown of proteins in the digestive tract. Although purified protein particles are fairly large in size, it is not known if systemic effects can occur following accidental inhalation. Proteins, in general, can cause skin and/or respiratory sensitization. Note This mixture is classified as hazardous under GHS as implemented by Regulation
