TB FERON GOLD TEST

The QuantiFERON TB Gold test, an essential blood examination, serves a pivotal role in identifying Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis. Also known as QFT, this assay employs the interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) method and stands out as a preferable alternative to the traditional tuberculin skin test (TST, PPD, or Mantoux). Diverging from the TST, the QuantiFERON TB Gold test ensures meticulous control within a laboratory setting, guaranteeing precision and reliability. Its distinct advantage lies in its immunity to the influence of prior Baccile Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccinations, fortifying its robustness. Notably, it exhibits heightened specificity and sensitivity in comparison to the tuberculin skin test, providing a more accurate and dependable approach to tuberculosis detection. This advanced diagnostic tool exemplifies Hypro Diagnostics’ commitment to incorporating cutting-edge methods for infectious disease diagnosis, demonstrating their dedication to precision and excellence in the field of medical diagnostics.
