Quantiferon TB Gold Plus 4th Gen
PROVIDER INITIATED TEST - The Quantiferon-TB Gold Plus (4th Generation) test is a blood is used to detect infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB). This test measures the immune system’s response to TB-specific antigens by assessing interferon-gamma release from T cells.
This test is commonly used to screen for latent or active TB infection and is preferred over skin testing in many settings because it requires only one blood draw and is not affected by prior BCG vaccination. It is frequently used for employment screening, healthcare clearance, immigration exams, and evaluation of TB exposure risk.
Results indicate whether TB infection is likely present but do not distinguish between latent and active disease, which requires further clinical evaluation.
