I highly recommend this urgent care. My dad recently had his immigration medical exam done by Dr. Afuwape. Incidentally, they found out that my dad had an underlying pulmonary infection/ edema. They went above and beyond and helped my dad get well by prescribing the necessary medications. Special mention to Lena who helped my dad with his X-ray appointments and to Malik that helped with my dad’s prescriptions.
Tuberculosis Testing: What You Need to Know
Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection that can remain dormant or cause active disease, especially in the lungs. While it’s rare in most of the U.S., many employers, schools, and healthcare settings require routine TB testing to ensure safety.
At Urgent Care Plus & Wellness, we offer two types of screening:
1. PPD Skin Test (Mantoux Test)
- Small amount of purified protein derivative (PPD) injected under the skin
- Requires a return visit in 48-72 hours to check for a reaction
- Commonly used for routine school and employment testing
2. IGRA Blood Test (Interferon-Gamma Release Assays)
- Requires only one visit for a blood draw
- Ideal for individuals who’ve had a prior BCG vaccination
- Preferred for healthcare workers or those in high-risk settings
