What is Tuberculosis (TB)?

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infection primarily affecting the lungs. Those with this infection must be on medication for months in order to fight further development of the disease. There are two types of TB – latent TB and Active TB. Latent TB is also known as inactive TB or TB infection. This is when you have the infection but the bacteria are dormant and do not cause symptoms. This type of TB is not contagious; however, it can become active if left untreated. The second type of TB is Active TB. In this state, it is an illness and is likely to be contagious. TB can become active anywhere from weeks to years following the infectious state. Not only can TB affect the lungs, it can also affect other parts of the body including the brain, spine, or kidneys. It is important to get tested to ensure that you are receiving the needed treatment as soon as possible.

What can I expect when getting TB tested at MinuteClinic?

TB testing is a two-part test, which requires a follow-up visit within 48 – 72 hours of the initial visit. The first part of the test is the TB test placement, which will take place during your first visit. Prior to administering the test, our staff will review your health history and verify your eligibility for the TB test. The test will then be administered into your forearm by your practitioner if you are eligible. Part two of the test is the TB test reading, which will take place during your second visit to CVS MinuteClinic in MOUNT LAUREL, NJ. This must occur 2-3 days after your initial visit to have the TST (Tuberculin Skin Test) assessed. From there, the next steps are dependent on the results. Your nurse practitioner or physician assistant will provide you with the needed follow-up recommendations.
