TB screening
Lung infection test
TB screening is the process of testing people for tuberculosis, typically before symptoms appear.
Standard methods include skin tests (where a small amount of tuberculin is injected under the skin) and blood tests.
Screening is often required for healthcare workers, immigrants, and others at elevated risk: All new employees must complete TB screening before their start date.
