“I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for the TB Blood Test. I received a promotional item to thank me for my participation.”
Did you know that every 21 seconds someone dies of TB? The statistics are depressing.
In the past I have had to get TB tests done for my children’s school so that I was able to participate in the classrooms and go on school field trips. Although I know these tests are necessary and prevent our children from being infected, going to the doctor and getting pricked on the skin and then waiting for a reaction to appear is something that was NEVER fun. I dreaded each and every one of those tests I have had done.
What is TB aka tuberculosis?
Tuberculosis (TB) is an airborne, highly contagious, infectious disease caused by bacteria. These bacteria are spread through the air by a person infected with active TB when they sneeze, cough or even speak, with nearby people breathing it in. Roughly 30% of the world’s population is infected with TB.
In the past I have had to get TB tests done for my children’s school so that I was able to participate in the classrooms and go on school field trips. Although I know these tests are necessary and prevent our children from being infected, going to the doctor and getting pricked on the skin and then waiting for a reaction to appear is something that was NEVER fun. Although I have never had a false positive, I know I would have been terrified if it did happen.
I am happy to have learned that there is a new TB Blood Test can be taken instead of the skin test. The new blood test can help diagnose tuberculosis (TB) infection and is more reliable than the 110-year old skin test. This test gives more accurate results an is the only available method of testing for TB with completely objective results.
When you choose to get take a TB blood test you get:
- The most accurate test for TB infection – no cross reaction with a previous TB vaccination
- Only a 3ml draw of fresh blood – irrespective/regardless of patient age/immune status
- The convenience of just one doctor’s visit instead of 2 or 3 like before
