What does this test Quantiferon TB IGRA Test identify?

  1. Tuberculosis infection: The Quantiferon TB IGRA Test identifies individuals who have been infected with the bacteria that causes tuberculosis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis). This test measures the immune response to TB-specific antigens in the blood, indicating whether the individual has been exposed to the bacteria.

Latent TB infection means that the individual has been infected with the bacteria but does not have active symptoms of the disease. This information is crucial for determining the appropriate treatment and management of TB.
  3. Risk assessment: The Quantiferon TB IGRA Test can help healthcare providers assess the risk of developing active TB disease in individuals with latent TB infection. This information is valuable for determining the need for preventive therapy to reduce the risk of TB progression.
