At EZMED, we make TB testing quick, professional, and compliant with employer and health department requirements.
The PPD test is a simple, widely used screening tool to determine whether someone has been exposed to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria that causes TB. A small amount of testing solution is injected just under the skin of the forearm.
The test does not diagnose active TB disease—it screens for exposure. Results must be read 48–72 hours after placement by a trained medical professional.
Many employers and organizations require TB testing to protect public health, especially in settings where individuals work closely with others.
Common reasons for PPD testing include:
Employment clearance
Healthcare or clinical work
School or university requirements
Volunteering
Childcare or daycare employment
Assisted living or nursing facilities
Known or possible TB exposure
If you’ve been exposed to someone with active TB, timely testing is essential. A PPD skin test may be recommended immediately and, in some cases, repeated after a specific window period to ensure accurate results.
Our clinicians at EZMED can guide you on the appropriate timing and next steps based on your exposure risk.
