Certain groups of individuals should be tested for tuberculosis infection because they are at a higher risk of being infected with tuberculosis bacteria including: • People who may have spent time with someone who has tuberculosis • Anyone from a country where tuberculosis is a common disease to be infected with • People who may live or work in a high-risk setting • Healthcare workers who care for patients that have tuberculosis • Infants, children and adolescents that have been exposed to adults who are at an increased risk of tuberculosis If you think you may have been in contact with someone who has tuberculosis, or are showing symptoms of tuberculosis, call our healthcare providers at Restore Health Urgent Care. Stay away from others until you have talked to and have been tested by your healthcare provider to ensure you do not spread it to others without knowing it. Tuberculosis is diagnosed by either a skin or blood test. Skin tests are completed by your healthcare provider offering a small amount of non-infectious tuberculosis protein injected under your skin of your arm. It will take 2 to 3 days for your skin to react to the injection for a positive result. If the results from either test come back positive, you will need more testing done to find out if you have latent or active forms of tuberculosis. If you are in need of a tuberculosis test, contact Restore Health Urgent Care today. We are available by appointment Monday to Friday 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM and Saturday to Sunday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Restore Health Urgent Care is located at 1840 Eldron Blvd SE.
