What is a QuantiFERON®-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) Test in Akola?
The QuantiFERON®-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) Test in Akola is a simple blood test used to detect infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria that causes tuberculosis (TB). It uses Interferon-Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) technology to measure how your immune system reacts to TB-specific antigens (ESAT-6 and CFP-10).
This test can identify latent TB infection (when the bacteria are present but inactive) and is highly useful for people previously vaccinated with BCG, as vaccination does not affect test accuracy.
What Does a QuantiFERON®-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) Test Measure in Akola?
The test measures the release of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) in your blood in response to TB-specific antigens:
- TB1 Tube (ESAT-6): Detects CD4+ T-cell response.
- TB2 Tube (CFP-10): Identifies both CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell response.
- Nil Tube: Serves as a negative control.
- Mitogen Tube: Serves as a positive control to confirm immune responsiveness.
Who Should Consider a QuantiFERON®-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) Test in Akola?
Doctors may recommend this test if you:
- Have been in contact with someone diagnosed with TB
- Have symptoms suggestive of TB but negative sputum tests
- Are about to start immunosuppressive therapy or undergo organ transplantation
- Are HIV-positive or have a weakened immune system
- Work in healthcare or high TB-prevalence settings
- Have received BCG vaccination but need accurate TB screening
What Is the Purpose of a QuantiFERON®-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) Test in Akola?
This test helps:
- Detect latent or active tuberculosis infection
- Differentiate TB infection from BCG vaccination effects
