Tuberculosis Testing screens for latent TB infection, which is required for healthcare workers, childcare workers, and many other occupations. Two primary testing methods are available: the tuberculin skin test (TST/PPD) and interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) blood tests like QuantiFERON-TB Gold.

The TST requires two visits: placement and reading 48-72 hours later. IGRA blood tests require only one visit and are preferred for BCG-vaccinated individuals. Positive results require follow-up with chest X-ray and possibly treatment.

BlueHive offers both TB testing methods through our provider network, with rapid results and compliance documentation.
