TB Testing

TB (Tuberculosis) testing services are crucial diagnostic tools aimed at identifying and managing tuberculosis infections. These services typically include various methods, such as the tuberculin skin test (TST) or the newer interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs).

​

TB testing is essential for both individual health and public health, as early detection allows for timely treatment, reducing the spread of the disease. In high-risk populations or regions with a higher prevalence of tuberculosis, routine testing becomes a key component of healthcare strategies.

​

The process involves administering specific tests to detect the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria responsible for tuberculosis. With accurate and timely TB testing services, healthcare professionals can diagnose infections, initiate appropriate treatments, and implement measures to prevent further transmission. These services contribute significantly to global efforts in controlling and ultimately eradicating tuberculosis, a persistent health concern worldwide.
