Order TB Gold Blood Test | QuantiFERON Tuberculosis Lab TestThe TB Gold Blood Test, also known as the QuantiFERON Tuberculosis Lab Test, is a blood-based method for detecting infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium that causes tuberculosis. Unlike skin testing, it relies on an immune response measured in a laboratory sample rather than a reaction at an injection site.
About TB Gold Blood Test | QuantiFERON Tuberculosis Lab Test in Normal
QuantiFERON technology gives clinicians a laboratory-based way to assess TB infection without the variables that can complicate skin testing.
The test works by mixing a blood sample with synthetic peptides that mimic proteins found in M. tuberculosis. If the person's immune cells have been previously exposed to the bacterium, they release interferon-gamma in response, which the assay detects and quantifies.
Because the measurement occurs in a controlled laboratory setting, the result is not affected by prior BCG vaccination, a common cause of false-positive skin test reactions. It also avoids the need for a second visit to read a skin reaction.
Results are typically reported qualitatively as positive, negative, or indeterminate. An indeterminate result can occur when the immune response is too weak to interpret, and repeat testing may be considered in such cases.
