PPD (purified protein derivative) is generally not contraindicated in pregnancy. It is a skin test used to determine exposure to tuberculosis and does not contain live bacteria, making it safe for pregnant women. However, it is essential to consult a healthcare provider before undergoing the test to assess the individual circumstances and any potential risks.
