Service Description

The Tuberculosis Skin Test (PPD) is a widely used screening method to detect latent or active tuberculosis (TB) infection. This test is often required for employment, school enrollment, healthcare workers, and DOT-regulated employees to ensure workplace and public safety. At DOT Express Las Vegas, we provide fast and professional PPD testing to help individuals meet their health screening requirements. What is the Tuberculosis (TB) Skin Test? The PPD (Purified Protein Derivative) test is a skin test used to check for TB infection. The test involves injecting a small amount of PPD solution under the skin of the forearm. The body's immune response is then observed to determine if the individual has been exposed to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria that causes tuberculosis. How the PPD Test Works Injection – A small amount of PPD solution is injected under the skin of the forearm by a trained medical professional. Observation Period – The test site must be examined 48 to 72 hours later by a healthcare provider. Result Interpretation – The reaction at the injection site determines the test result: Negative: No swelling or only minor redness, indicating no TB infection. Positive: A firm, raised bump at the site may indicate a TB infection. Further testing, such as a chest X-ray or blood test, may be required for confirmation. Who Needs a PPD Test? Healthcare workers, school staff, and employees in high-risk settings. CDL drivers and DOT-regulated employees requiring TB clearance for work. Individuals exposed to someone with active TB. People with weakened immune systems or at high risk for TB infection. Why is TB Testing Important? Detects TB exposure early, allowing for timely treatment and prevention. Required for employment, education, and healthcare settings. Ensures compliance with DOT medical requirements for certain safety-sensitive positions. Why Choose DOT Express Las Vegas for PPD Testing?
