Quantiferon Blood Test in Leicester

Fast, Accurate TB Testing in Leicester – One Visit, Peace of Mind.

At The Health Suite in Leicester, we offer the Quantiferon-TB Gold blood test, a simple and reliable way to check for latent or active tuberculosis (TB) infection. Unlike the traditional Mantoux skin test, the Quantiferon blood test gives fast, accurate results from a single blood draw – no return visit needed.

What is the Quantiferon Blood Test?

The Quantiferon-TB Gold test is an Interferon Gamma Release Assay (IGRA). It works by measuring your immune system’s response to proteins associated with the tuberculosis bacteria.

  • A positive result suggests TB infection (either latent or active).
  • A negative result means TB infection is unlikely.
  • Further medical assessment may be required if results are unclear or if symptoms are present.

Why Choose Quantiferon Over the Mantoux Test?

  • One clinic visit only – no follow-up appointment required
  • Accurate and reliable – fewer false positives than Mantoux
  • BCG-friendly – unaffected by past BCG vaccination

Who May Need a Quantiferon Blood Test?

  • Healthcare, care sector, or school staff requiring TB clearance
  • Students and professionals needing TB screening for a visa or travel
  • People exposed to TB or advised to test by a GP or hospital doctor
  • Patients preparing for immunosuppressive therapy, where TB status must be confirmed
