QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus

Test Details & Description

The QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus test is a blood test that helps detect latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) by measuring the immune response to specific proteins associated with the tuberculosis bacteria. It involves drawing a small amount of blood, which is then analyzed in a laboratory to determine if your immune system has reacted to the TB proteins, indicating a possible infection. This test is particularly useful for individuals who may have been exposed to TB but do not exhibit symptoms of active disease.
