There are two types of tests for a Tuberculosis (TB) infection: the TB skin test and the TB blood test. Typically, a person’s health care provider should indicate which TB test to use. There are certain factors involved in selecting which test to use which include the reason for testing, test availability, and cost. Generally, it is not recommended to test a person with both a TB skin test and a TB blood test.

The TB skin test is performed by injecting a small amount of fluid (called tuberculin) into the skin on the lower are of the arm. A person given the tuberculin skin test must return within 48 to 72 hours to have a trained health care worker look for a reaction on the arm.

The result depends on the size of the raised, hard area or swelling.

Positive Result: This means the person’s body was infected with TB bacteria. Additional tests are needed to determine if the person has latent TB infection or TB disease.

Negative Result: This means the person’s body did not react to the test, and that latent TB infection or TB disease is not likely.

If an additional TB test is needed, the additional test should be placed in a different location on the body (e.g., other arm).

The TB skin test is the preferred TB test for children under the age of five.

TB blood tests are also called interferon-gamma release assays or IGRAs. There are two TB blood tests are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are available in the United States: the QuantiFERON®-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) and the T-SPOT®.TB test (T-Spot).

This specific TB test would need to be ordered by a health care provider and will require a blood draw and send it to a laboratory for analysis and results.

Positive TB blood test result: This result means that the person has been infected with TB bacteria and additional tests are needed to determine if the person has latent TB infection or TB disease.

Negative TB blood test result: This result means that the person’s blood did not react to the test and that latent TB infection or TB disease is not likely.

People who have received the TB vaccine bacille Calmette–Guérin (BCG).

People who have a difficult time returning for a second appointment to look for a reaction to the TST.
