PPD SKIN TESTING AND POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS

 

                 PPD TB skin testing is done to determine if individuals have been infected with tuberculosis, either recently or at some earlier time during their life.  The test does not indicate if an individual is sick with TB, but only indicates whether infection has occurred.

                

                 The solution for the PPD skin test is made in such a way that a person cannot get  TB from the PPD test.  The test causes a person who has been infected by the TB germ to have a reaction.  People who have never been infected by the TB germ do not have a reaction.

 

                 To receive the test, a person has a small amount of the PPD solution injected just beneath the skin on the underside of the forearm.  48 to 72 hours later, the person must return to have the test evaluated.  A positive test is one where a bump with a hard ridge around it appears at the place where the PPD test was placed.  The size of the reaction is measured to determine if the test is positive.

 

                 It is very unlikely that a side effect to the test will occur.  If such an event does happen, the most common reaction is a local one, such as pain or redness at the test site.  In very rare cases, a person who is hypersensitive to the solution could have a more severe allergic reaction near the injection site.  Such reactions may include blistering or a skin wound.

Tdap/Td Immunization required for 7^th grade entry

Last year, the Ohio Department of Health updated immunization requirements for Ohio students entering the 7^th grade.  One dose of Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria, & acellular pertussis) or Td (Tetanus & Diptheria) vaccine is required prior to entry into the 7^th grade.  If a student received a Tdap or Td within the last 5 years, the new requirement is met and the student does not need to be re-immunized for entry to 7^th grade.
