Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
A note from Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY (DHA License: 61713011, Senior Consultant Pulmonologist): “This IGRA test identifies latent TB infection with high accuracy, enabling early preventive therapy and reducing the risk of future active disease. However, all results must be correlated with clinical symptoms, chest radiology, and risk factor assessment. A single negative result does not exclude infection in immunocompromised patients, and a positive result requires further evaluation by a pulmonologist or infectious disease specialist.”
⚠️ Medication Warning: Do not discontinue any prescribed anti-tuberculosis medication or any other drug without consulting your physician. A negative IGRA result does not conclusively prove cure or rule out active tuberculosis.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Test is not intended as a standalone diagnostic for active pulmonary TB; microbiological confirmation is required in symptomatic patients.
- Severe immunosuppression (e.g., CD4 <200 cells/µL, high-dose steroids, biologic therapy) may cause indeterminate results; alternative diagnostics should be discussed.
- ER Red Flags: Coughing up blood (hemoptysis), severe pleuritic chest pain, high fever with drenching night sweats, or unexplained significant weight loss demand immediate emergency evaluation—do not delay care.
- Sample collection: 5 mL (4 mL min.) whole blood in a green-top sodium/lithium heparin tube. Keep refrigerated (2–8°C) and transport to the laboratory within 12 hours. DO NOT FREEZE. No special patient preparation required.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How accurate is the TB Gold Plus IGRA test for latent tuberculosis?
Direct Answer: The QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus IGRA delivers over 99% diagnostic sensitivity, ensuring reliable detection of latent TB infection without BCG vaccine interference.
This blood test is the UAE’s preferred screening tool for healthcare workers, pre-employment, student visas, and contact tracing. A positive result indicates TB infection but does not differentiate latent from active disease—further chest X-ray and clinical evaluation are mandatory.

3. When will I receive my result and how is it interpreted?
Direct Answer: Results are available the next business day if the sample reaches the lab by 9:00 AM, with telephonic interpretation included.
A positive IGRA suggests latent TB infection and requires notification to your physician. A negative result generally rules out infection, though indeterminate results can occur in immunosuppressed individuals and may need repeat testing. Our clinical team provides free post- guidance in English and Arabic.
