    The tuberculin  for a TB test is administered by ____________ injection into the eyelid of the monkey

    • A.

      Dermal

    • B.

      Intradermal

    • C.

      Intravenous

    • D.

      Subcutaneous

    Correct Answer
    B. Intradermal
    Explanation
    The tuberculin for a TB test is administered by intradermal injection into the eyelid of the monkey. Intradermal injection involves injecting the substance into the dermis, the layer of skin just below the epidermis. This method is commonly used for TB tests as it allows for a small amount of the tuberculin to be injected just under the skin, where it can be easily observed for any reaction or response. The other options, such as dermal, intravenous, and subcutaneous injections, would not be appropriate for administering the tuberculin in this case.
