Why TB Testing Matters

Early detection of TB is crucial—not just for your own health, but to protect those around you. TB can exist in two forms: latent and active. People with latent TB infection carry the bacteria but don’t show symptoms and aren’t contagious. However, if left untreated, latent TB can develop into active TB disease, which is contagious and can be life-threatening.

Common Symptoms of Active TB:

• Persistent cough lasting more than 3 weeks
• Fever and chills
• Night sweats
• Fatigue or weakness
• Unexplained weight loss
• Loss of appetite
• Chest pain or coughing up blood (in severe cases)

TB Testing Options at AFC Urgent Care Dunn

Our Dunn clinic is equipped with modern technology and a highly trained medical team to make your testing experience smooth, professional, and comfortable. We offer two main types of TB tests:

• PPD Skin Test (Mantoux Test): This involves a small injection under the skin. You will need to return to the clinic 48–72 hours later for us to check your reaction and provide results.
• Quantiferon Blood Test (TB Gold): This blood test is sent to a laboratory for analysis and does not require a follow-up visit. It's often preferred for people who’ve received the BCG vaccine or need quicker results.

If symptoms are present or a test result is positive, we may recommend a chest X-ray to evaluate your lungs further. Our Dunn clinic offers on-site X-rays, so you won’t have to go anywhere else for answers.
