Tb Gold / Igra in Kekri

What is a TB Gold / IGRA Test?

A TB Gold / IGRA (Interferon-Gamma Release Assay) Test is a blood test used to detect Tuberculosis (TB) infection. It measures how your immune system responds to specific proteins from the bacteria that cause TB.

Unlike the traditional Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), the TB Gold test requires only a blood sample and is not affected by prior BCG vaccination in most cases. This makes it a reliable option for identifying latent TB infection and supporting the diagnosis of active TB along with other clinical evaluations.

Doctors often recommend a TB Gold Test in Jaipur for individuals who may have been exposed to TB or are at increased risk of infection.

The TB Gold / IGRA Test typically includes:

• Interferon-Gamma Response Measurement – Assesses the immune response to TB-specific antigens
• TB Antigen Response – Evaluates whether the immune system recognizes TB bacteria
• Control Measurements – Ensures accurate and reliable test interpretation

The results are generally reported as Positive, Negative, or Indeterminate.
