Frequently Asked Questions
The diagnostic tests for tuberculosis include the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), where a substance is injected under the skin to see if there's a reaction indicating TB exposure, and Interferon-Gamma Release Assays (IGRAs), which are blood tests that measure the immune system's response to TB bacteria to identify infection.
TB blood test results are typically available within 24 to 48 hours after the blood sample is taken. This quick turnaround time allows for prompt diagnosis and initiation of treatment if tuberculosis bacteria are detected.
Tuberculosis (TB) is highly contagious, spreading through the air when a person with active TB disease in the lungs coughs, speaks, or sneezes. However, it generally requires prolonged exposure to become infected. TB is not spread by casual contact.
