Hep B Titer- (Hep B Surface, antibody) Quantitative

Hep B Titer Test required by most schools and employers.  The Hepatitis B titer test, which measures the Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) quantitatively, is often a prerequisite for schools and employers. It determines the level of Hepatitis B surface antibodies in the bloodstream, helping ascertain the need for vaccination. After undergoing a vaccination series, this test also verifies whether the individual has developed sufficient immunity against Hepatitis B. This assay is crucial for determining one's immune status regarding Hepatitis B. It is also known as the Hepatitis B IgG titer test, providing quantitative results. About Hepatitis B Surface Antibody (HBsAb or anti-HBs):The Hepatitis B surface antibody, or "surface antibody," is produced by the body in response to the Hepatitis B virus. It can result from vaccination or recovery from a Hepatitis B infection. A positive result indicates that the immune system has successfully generated protective antibodies against the Hepatitis B virus. This provides long-lasting immunity against future Hepatitis B infections. Importantly, individuals who test positive for the surface antibody are not infected and cannot transmit the virus to others. This quantitative test, required by many educational and medical institutions, provides specific levels of anti-HBs, aiding in assessing immunity status.   Would you like to learn more about the Hepatitis B virus?   If testing is needed for a minor under the age of 16 click here   After placing an order, you will receive a doctor approved lab order by email usually within minutes.

TB Blood Test - Quantiferon Gold

TB Skin Test

PPD skin test  The Mantoux tuberculin skin test (TST) is the standard method of determining whether a person is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Reliable administration and reading of the TST requires standardization of procedures, training, supervision, and practice. How i s the TST Administered? The TST is performed by injecting 0.1 ml of tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD) into the inner surface of the forearm. The injection should be made with a tuberculin syringe, with the needle bevel facing upward. The TST is an intradermal injection. When placed correctly, the injection should produce a pale elevation of the skin (a wheal) 6 to 10 mm in diameter. How i s the TST Read? The skin test reaction should be read between 48 and 72 hours after administration. A positive result will form a red and swollen circle at the site of the injection. The size (diameter) of the swollen raised circle determines whether exposure to TB has occurred. The size that is considered positive varies with the health status and age of the individual. Even when infected, children, the elderly, and people who are severely immune compromised (such as those with AIDS) may have smaller, delayed, or even negative reactions to the TST.   Is there anything else I should know? Positive TST results are commonly seen in those who have received a BCG (Bacille Calmette-Guérin) vaccination. IGRA results are not affected by BCG.A negative TST may cause mild itching or discomfort at the injection site. A person may not respond to a TB skin test (even with TB exposure) if the person has had a recent viral infection, a "live" vaccine (such as measles, mumps, chickenpox, influenza), or has overwhelming tuberculosis, another bacterial infection, or is taking immune suppressive drugs such as corticosteroids.A person should generally wait 4-6 weeks to do a TB skin test after having had a vaccination with a live-virus vaccine. ***ONLY OCCUPATIONAL CLINIC LOCATIONS PROVIDE TB SKIN TEST***  TB Skin Test Clinic Locations

MMR Titer (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) Quantitative

MMR titer Test required by most schools and employers to prove immunity. Antibody testing may be used to confirm immunity, diagnose an active case, or to track outbreaks. Measles and mumps antibodies are virus-specific proteins produced by the immune system in response to an infection by the measles or mumps virus, or in response to vaccination. This test check for IgG antibodies take a bit longer to develop, but once they do, they stay positive for life, providing protection against re-infection.  What is an MMR titer? An MMR titer is a blood test that checks for immunity (from prior vaccination or infection) to the Measles, Mumps and Rubella infections. Who gets an MMR titer test? An MMR titer test is typically ordered by healthcare workers and students studying in healthcare programs. Additionally, some people get the MMR titer to check immunity when they are going to be around a new baby or someone with a weakened immune system. When to get a MMR Titer? An antibody tier test for measles or mumps may be ordered whenever someone  wants to determine whether a person is to one or more of the viruses, either because of a previous infection or due to vaccination.  What does a positive MMR titer result mean? A positive MMR titer means that you are considered immune and do not need to be revaccinated.
