Tuberculosis Skin Test (PPD)

Service Description

Protect your health and the health of those around you with a Tuberculosis Skin Test (PPD) at Sky Health Wellness Clinic in Las Vegas. This simple and reliable test helps detect latent or active tuberculosis (TB) infection and is often required for work, school, or travel—especially in healthcare or congregate living settings. Our licensed medical professionals make the process easy and efficient. During your first visit, a small amount of purified protein derivative (PPD) is injected just under the top layer of your forearm skin. The test is painless, quick, and completed in just a few minutes. You'll return to the clinic within 48 to 72 hours for a follow-up visit, where we check the injection site for signs of a reaction. A raised, red bump may indicate a positive result and the need for additional evaluation. A flat or unreactive site typically means a negative result. Our providers will clearly explain your result and, if necessary, offer further guidance or referrals for treatment or additional testing. Tuberculosis can spread through the air and affect the lungs and other parts of the body if not detected early. That's why early screening is important—not only for your own well-being, but also to help prevent community spread. Whether you need a TB test for work, education, immigration, or peace of mind, we’ve got you covered. At Sky Health, we prioritize your safety, privacy, and convenience. We ensure sterile technique, timely result interpretation, and easy scheduling. Walk-ins are welcome, or you can book online for fast service with no wait.
