因为这是血液试验不用像PPD皮试那样再去医院看实验结果。

Some diseases are common in certain areas, so investigations for them could be included, e. g. PPD test for Tuberculosis and Viral Antibodies for hepatitis.
Testing for TB often starts with a purified protein derivative or PPD intradermal skin test, sometimes known as a tuberculin skin test, Mantoux test or simply TB test.
