Generally, the discomfort experienced during TB testing is minimal and on par with other routine medical procedures. For skin tests, a small amount of testing material is injected under the skin, which might cause slight pain at the moment of application but typically causes little to no irritation afterward. In the case of blood tests, a sample is usually obtained through a standard needle draw, which might result in a brief prick sensation or some discomfort. However, overall, the discomfort associated with TB testing is usually mild and short-lived. Both skin and blood tests are known to be minimally uncomfortable, making them manageable for most patients. A tuberculosis (TB) test detects if you are infected with the disease.
