A laboratory test, the TB looks at specific markers to describe a defined part of your health picture. This overview explains the test and its results.

Limitations of the TB

A result from the TB reflects the sample at the time it was collected and does not capture every factor. The accuracy of the TB depends on proper sample collection and on the laboratory method used. A value outside the range is not a diagnosis on its own, so the TB is best interpreted with a provider. This QuantiFERON TB Gold blood test screens for tuberculosis (TB), a disease that spreads from person to person through the air and affects the lungs.

How Often the TB Is Repeated

For routine monitoring, the TB may be repeated at regular intervals to track the same markers over time. If a result from the TB is outside the range, a provider may suggest repeating it sooner. This QuantiFERON TB Gold blood test screens for tuberculosis (TB), a disease that spreads from person to person through the air and affects the lungs. Comparing one TB report with the next is easier when the same laboratory method is used.

High and Low TB Results

The meaning of a high or low TB result depends on your history and on the other markers in the panel. Reference ranges for the TB are printed on the report, and results should be read against that range. If a TB value is outside the range, a provider can explain the possible reasons and the next steps. The TB report shows whether each value sits above, below, or within the reference range.
