آسان اردو میں
ٹی بی اسکریننگ خون کا ایک عام ٹیسٹ ہے جو ٹی بی کے امکان کی ابتدائی جانچ کے لیے کیا جاتا ہے، جیسے نوکری سے پہلے کے میڈیکل یا عام چیک اپ میں۔ اگر کھانسی دو ہفتے سے زیادہ ہو، بخار، وزن کم ہونا یا رات کو پسینہ آئے تو ڈاکٹر سے ضرور ملیں، کیونکہ تصدیق کے لیے بلغم کا ٹیسٹ یا ایکسرے بھی ضروری ہو سکتا ہے۔
