The T-SPOT.TB test eliminates the concerns with the tuberculin skin test.
- Having to return back to the doctor's office within 2-3 days for reading of test results
- Painful scarring at the injection site
- False positive result potentially due to the BCG vaccine
- False negative result because of compromised immune status
The T-SPOT.TB test is the new blood test that addresses these concerns with the 100 year old skin test.
• One and Done! Only a single blood sample is needed
• Does not require a follow up visit to the doctor's office for reading of test results
• Eliminates the risk of scarring because tuberculin is not being administered into the skin
• The T-SPOT.TB test results are not affected by BCG vaccination*
• The T-SPOT.TB test results are not affected by a weakened immune system*
