Description
The QuantiFERON TB Gold Plus test is a blood test that detects latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) by measuring the immune response to specific TB proteins. It helps identify individuals who may have been exposed to tuberculosis without showing active disease symptoms. This test is particularly useful in screening high-risk populations and is an alternative to the traditional tuberculin skin test. This test is beneficial for healthcare workers, teachers, and travelers or anyone needing to be screened.
