Fast and Accurate Tuberculosis Testing
The tuberculosis test is a simple, straightforward process conducted in our medical office. Depending on the requirement, a skin test (PPD) or a blood test (IGRA) may be used to check for TB exposure. For the skin test, a small amount of purified protein derivative (PPD) is injected under the skin, and the results are evaluated within 48 to 72 hours. The blood test requires a sample that is analyzed in a lab, often providing results within a few days. Our team ensures that the process is smooth, with minimal discomfort and quick turnaround times.

Tuberculosis testing provides fast, accurate results for health screenings, employment, and school requirements while ensuring early detection and prevention of TB.

The type of test depends on your specific requirement. Skin tests (PPD) are common, but some workplaces or schools may require a blood test (IGRA).
Skin test results are read within 48 to 72 hours, while blood test results typically take a few days.
A positive test does not always mean you have active TB. Further evaluation, such as a chest X-ray or additional testing, will determine the next steps.
Some employers or programs require annual TB testing, especially in healthcare or education settings. Check with your employer or institution for their specific guidelines.
