Medical Conditions - Testing For Tuberculosis

Testing for tuberculosis can be done to detect tuberculosis bacteria in the body through the TB skin test (TST) and TB blood tests. For this test, a substance called tuberculin is injected just below the skin on the inside of one forearm. The other tests include blood tests, x-rays, and sputum tests.
