Frequently Asked Questions

A TB monitoring panel tracks the progression and treatment response of tuberculosis. It includes tests like:

  • TB blood test (IGRA/QuantiFERON)
  • Sputum culture and smear
  • Chest X-ray (to check lung damage)

TB monitoring is important as it:

  • Tracks the effectiveness of anti-TB medications
  • Detects drug-resistant TB strains
  • Prevents the spread of infection

  • Initially at diagnosis
  • Periodically during treatment to ensure effectiveness

Yes, blood tests (IGRA, QuantiFERON-TB) can detect latent TB before it becomes active.
