Testing To be Administered As Needed
The TB testing process requires a 2-visit procedure for testing and reading results. Our convenient at-your-site testing service is a perfect match for school administrations and large industries that have State required testing on a regular basis.

Anyone can get Tuberculosis(TB). It is a serious disease caused by a form of bacteria that can be spread from person to person through the air. TB can scar the lungs and other parts of the body, such as the kidneys, bone structure or the brain. TB disease can almost always be cured, but it can be fatal if medications are not taken properly. As the spread of TB is once again on the rise, it is important to protect your health by getting tested.

TB Symptoms: The symptoms for TB may include a continual cough, coughing up blood, fatigue, fever, loss of appetite, and weight loss. Test-med offers a simple 2-part skin test in the forearm to determine if the TB bacteria are present in the body. Two days after testing, your Test-med nurse will return to take the readings and confirm the test results.

Testing should occur every 2 to 3 years. If confirmed exposure occurs, the testing should be done immediately.
