Overview of QuantiFERON (TB Gold) Test

Available at all Max Lab diagnostic centres in Rajapark, Jaipur at affordable prices, the QuantiFERON (TB Gold) test is an Interferon-Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) performed for the accurate detection of mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, the test does not differentiate between the tuberculosis disease and latent tuberculosis infection. The test, as well as its newer version, the TB Gold Plus test, analyse an individual’s immune reactivity against mycobacterium tuberculosis. In a tuberculosis infection, there are high chances of a person’s white blood cells releasing interferon-gamma (IFN-g) when exposed to mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens.

The cost of the TB Gold test in Rajapark, Jaipur will vary based on the test panel it is booked with.
