This test measures the reaction of the immune system to the bacterium and can determine whether an individual has ever been exposed to the tuberculosis bacterium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy should you get the Quantiferon TB IGRA test done?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis test is useful for individuals who have been in close contact with someone who has tuberculosis, people at increased risk of exposure due to work or travel to areas where tuberculosis is more common, and for those with symptoms of tuberculosis. It is a safe and accurate way to identify tuberculosis infections without direct exposure to the bacterium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does it indicate?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA positive result from the Quantiferon TB IGRA suggests an infection with the tuberculosis bacterium. It means that the person's immune system has been exposed to the bacterium in the past and has developed a response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does a high level mean?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA high level of reaction in the Quantiferon TB IGRA suggests an active or recent infection with the tuberculosis bacterium. This requires further evaluation and possible treatment to manage the disease and prevent spread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does a low level mean?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA low level or a negative test result means that no significant immune response against the tuberculosis bacterium has been detected. This suggests that the person is probably not infected with tuberculosis.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BloedCheckup","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47733916860762,"sku":"","price":141.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/6816\/2394\/files\/QuantiferontestTBCIGRAtuberculose.png?v=1755941770","url":"https:\/\/store.bloedcheckup.nl\/nl\/products\/quantiferontest-tbc-igra-tuberculose","provider":"BloedCheckup","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
