How Is IGRA Used To Monitor TB Treatment? Have you ever wondered how healthcare professionals monitor the progress of tuberculosis treatment? In this informative video, we'll explain the role and limitations of the Interferon Gamma Release Assays (IGRA) in managing TB. We'll start by describing what IGRA tests are and how they work to detect immune responses related to TB infection. You'll learn why these tests are useful for diagnosing latent TB infection and supporting initial diagnosis.

However, we'll also clarify why IGRA is not a reliable method for tracking how well TB treatment is progressing. We'll discuss the variability in test results during and after therapy, and why a positive IGRA doesn’t necessarily mean bacteria are still present. Instead, doctors rely on other tools such as sputum tests, bacterial cultures, and symptom monitoring to assess treatment success.

Whether you're a patient undergoing TB treatment or someone interested in understanding TB management, this video provides clear insights into current diagnostic practices and their limitations. Remember, always follow your healthcare provider’s advice and schedule regular checkups to ensure the best possible outcomes. Stay informed and stay healthy!
