The Quantiferon-TB Gold Test is an Interferon Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) that detects the presence of tuberculosis (TB) infection by measuring immune reactivity to TB-specific antigens in the blood. It is a preferred alternative to the traditional Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), especially in people who have been vaccinated with BCG.

Why is the Quantiferon-TB Gold Test Done?

This test is done to:

  • Detect latent TB infection

  • Assist in diagnosing active TB disease in combination with other tests

  • Screen high-risk groups such as healthcare workers, immunocompromised individuals, or people with known TB exposure

It helps distinguish between TB infection and the effects of BCG vaccination or most environmental mycobacteria.

Who Should Get This Test?

  • Individuals with close contact with TB-positive persons

  • Patients with symptoms like cough, weight loss, fever, or night sweats

  • People undergoing pre-employment or immigration screening

  • Immunocompromised individuals (e.g., HIV, organ transplant recipients)

Test Procedure & Preparation

  • Sample Required: Blood sample (3ml–5ml)

  • Fasting Required: No fasting needed

  • Method: IGRA (Interferon-Gamma Release Assay)

  • Collection Time: Few minutes via standard venipuncture

  • Report Time: Typically 2–4 working days

Understanding the Results

  • Positive Result: Suggests TB infection. Further tests may be needed to rule out active TB disease.

  • Negative Result: Indicates no evidence of TB infection.

  • Indeterminate Result: May occur in immunocompromised patients; repeat testing or alternative evaluation may be required.

Your healthcare provider will interpret the results based on your clinical history and risk factors.
