The DC TB Clinic is a specialty clinic and sees persons who have tuberculosis or have a suspected diagnosis of tuberculosis, as well as persons who have come in close contact with someone diagnosed with TB disease. While an appointment is not needed to be seen at the clinic, you must bring a written referral from a health care provider. The clinic does not perform routine TB screening, such as those for job or school admission. The clinic provides diagnostic and medical management of persons who have been diagnosed with or are suspected as having TB. Specific services include IGRA testing for close contacts to tuberculosis and high risk individuals, chest x-rays, sputum collection, medical management including treatment, and case management.

Patients must have a referral and proof of positive TB test (IGRA or TST) information if applicable. For instance, if a TST test was performed and had a positive result, the referral should have the date the TST was placed, the date it was read, and the size of the positive reading. If an IGRA or TB blood test was performed and had a positive result, the patient should bring a copy of the lab test result. If the patient already had chest X-ray done, the patient must bring a copy of the chest X-ray and reading, along with any other supporting documentation.
