What is TB Quantiferon?
The TB Quantiferon test is a blood test used to detect tuberculosis (TB) infection. Unlike the traditional skin test, it measures your immune system's response to TB bacteria, providing a more specific and often more accurate result.
Why is this test important?
This test is crucial for diagnosing both latent TB infection (where the bacteria are present but inactive) and active TB disease. It's often recommended for individuals exposed to TB, those with weakened immune systems, or for immigration screenings.
How to Prepare
No special preparation is required for this blood test. You can eat and drink normally before the sample collection.
