Скачать или смотреть When Is an IGRA TB Test Recommended?

Ever wondered about the best way to detect a silent but serious infection like tuberculosis? This video explains when an IGRA (Interferon-Gamma Release Assay) test is recommended for identifying latent TB.

Here's why the IGRA test is a crucial tool in TB detection:
► Unlike traditional skin tests, IGRA tests provide reliable results even for those who have received the BCG vaccine, avoiding false positives.
► It offers convenience, requiring only a single blood draw visit compared to the two visits needed for skin tests.
► IGRA is highly recommended for individuals at higher risk, such as those exposed to active TB or who have traveled to high-prevalence countries.
► It's a superior option for people with weakened immune systems, where skin tests might not be effective.
