QuantiFERON Tuberculosis (TB) Screening

The QuantiFERON Tuberculosis Screening Test is an advanced TB blood test designed for individuals at risk of TB exposure, including healthcare workers, close contacts of active TB cases, and people living or traveling in TB-endemic regions.

This test measures your interferon gamma response to TB antigens, providing more accurate results than traditional skin tests and remaining unaffected by prior TB vaccinations. It effectively detects latent tuberculosis infections, allowing for early intervention before the disease becomes active.

The QuantiFERON TB test plays a critical role in TB risk assessment and management, particularly in high-risk groups. Consulting a healthcare provider for precise interpretation and personalized guidance ensures that results are used effectively to protect your health and prevent TB transmission.
