ABOUT Quantiferon Gold TB TESTS
The Quantiferon Gold test is a highly accurate blood test used to detect latent or active tuberculosis infection. It measures your immune system’s response to TB-specific antigens and is widely accepted for work screenings, school requirements, and medical clearances.
Interferon-Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) – Measures immune reactivity to TB proteins
TB1 Antigen Response – Evaluates CD4 T-cell activity
TB2 Antigen Response – Evaluates both CD4 and CD8 T-cell activity for improved sensitivity
Nil Control – Ensures accurate baseline measurement
Mitogen Control – Confirms an adequate immune response for valid results
Tuberculosis can remain dormant for years without symptoms. The Quantiferon Gold test offers a fast, reliable way to screen for infection without the false positives often seen with skin tests. It’s ideal for employment, immigration, healthcare, and school requirements.
No special preparation is required. You can eat and drink normally before your appointment.
