Who can do a TB assessment?

You can get tested for TB at the health department or at your health care providers office. Your health care provider will choose the TB test that is best for you. Public and private health care plans may cover TB testing costs.

How often should you do a TB risk assessment?

Treatment for latent TB infection is highly recommended. Perform annual screening for symptoms of TB disease. Annually reevaluate the risk and benefits of treatment for latent TB infection. Ensure health care personnel know the symptoms of TB disease that should prompt an immediate evaluation between screening.

What is the best test for TB screening?

Test Selection Centers for Disease Control, The Infectious Diseases Society of America, and World Health Organization guidelines endorse using IGRA or TST to screen for tuberculosis.

What is the golden test for TB?

QuantiFERON-TB Gold (QFT) is a simple blood test that aids in the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria which causes tuberculosis (TB).

What is the gold standard for TB screening?

All specimens should be cultured, regardless of whether the smear is positive or negative. Culture is the gold standard for laboratory confirmation of TB disease. A positive culture for M. tuberculosis confirms the diagnosis of TB disease.
