TB (Tuberculosis) PPD TEST (Step 1)
Tuberculosis skin test/purified protein derivative is a skin test used to determine if someone has developed an immune response to the bacterium that causes tuberculosis (TB). The process for the test is:
On your initial appointment, a medical professional will utilize a tiny needle to insert some testing material beneath the skin on the inside part of your lower arm. We refer to the testing fluid as tuberculin.
After 2-3 days, you will need to return for a follow up TB PPD Test step 2. (You may purchase step 2 on our website as well)
If this screen yields a positive result for tuberculosis, further testing—which is not covered by this service—might be required.
