Quantiferon Gold (Blood TB Test)
Quantiferon Gold Test (QFT-G):
Who should get this test: Patients suspected of tuberculosis (TB) infection, individuals with known TB exposure, healthcare workers, those with compromised immune systems, or those undergoing evaluation for TB infection or latent TB.
What's included in the test: The Quantiferon Gold test measures the body's immune response to TB bacteria by detecting interferon-gamma release from T cells exposed to TB antigens. It involves collecting blood samples and incubating them with TB-specific antigens, then measuring interferon-gamma levels.
Why someone would check this test: To diagnose latent TB infection (LTBI) in individuals at risk of developing active TB, especially in populations where TB prevalence is high, to guide treatment decisions for LTBI, or to screen for TB infection in healthcare settings, prisons, or immigration centers.
