What does a positive TB test look like?

When you take the TB skin test, a huge bump will appear on your arm at the injection site if you have had a TB infection. This hump, which may appear red and bloated, indicates that you have tuberculosis germs in your body. During your visit, your doctor or the TB test provider will measure and check the bump to see if you have TB.

I was very surprised with my experience here. My appointment was made very quickly. I was seen in a very short period of time. My test results came back in a very timely manner.

I have been to urgent Care twice, two years apart, for very different reasons. Both times I was seen quickly and treated professionally. The first time I was sent to St. Luke's, where the ER care was also excellent--the second time, the physician in charge definitely saved my life.
