How does the quantiferon test work ?
It is an interferon gamma release assay
Based on blood
Alternative to tuberculin test
Based on the host's immune response to specific M.tuberculosis antigens EAST 6 , CFP _10 , TB7 ) which absent from most NTM and BCG
Doesn't differentiate between latent and active TB
