Test Overview & Methodology
The QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus IGRA is a WHO-endorsed blood test for latent and active tuberculosis, replacing the old tuberculin skin test with greater specificity and no BCG cross-reactivity.

|---|---|---|
| Precision | >95% Specificity, no BCG interference | >95% Specificity, more labour‑intensive |
| Method | Enzyme Immunoassay (ELISA) – automated, high‑throughput | ELISPOT – manual, fewer labs offer it |
| Speed | Next‑day report (sample by 4 PM) | Often 2–3 days |
| Sample Requirement | 1 mL whole blood in special QuantiFERON TB Gold tubes; shake 10 times; ship at room temp within 16 h | Two separate lithium‑heparin tubes; same‑day processing |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“A positive IGRA test does not differentiate latent TB from active disease; it must be correlated with your symptoms, chest imaging, and risk factors. I encourage every patient to complete the evaluation with a pulmonologist before starting any treatment.”
— Dr. Ajay Singh, General Practitioner, DHA License 36234132Advisory: Medication Warning
⚠️ Important
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. If you are on immunosuppressants, inform the lab before the draw; results may be indeterminate. Never stop anti‑tuberculosis therapy unless explicitly advised.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Known active bleeding disorder or severe thrombocytopenia (platelets <50,000/µL) — alternative test may be considered. Severe lymphopenia (<0.5×10⁹/L) can cause indeterminate results.
- Red Flags that need immediate ER evaluation: Coughing up blood, high fever >38.5°C with night sweats, unexplained weight loss >5% in one month, or chest pain with shortness of breath.
