Experiencing symptoms such as persistent cough,
unintentional weight loss, night sweats, or fever? A TB Assessment involves
medical evaluations to detect and diagnose tuberculosis (TB) infection. These
assessments often include a Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) or interferon-gamma
release assay (IGRA) to determine exposure to TB bacteria. If the tests suggest
TB infection, further diagnostic tests like chest X-rays, sputum cultures, and
physical examinations would be suggested to evaluate whether the infection is active
or latent. Timely and accurate TB assessment is crucial for effective treatment
and preventing the spread of the disease.
