No special preparation is required. You can eat and drink normally before the test, but inform your healthcare provider about any medications or recent illnesses.
Results are typically available within 2 to 7 days after the sample is analyzed in the laboratory.
The TB GOLD Test helps accurately diagnose latent TB infection, which is crucial for preventing the progression to active TB and ensuring appropriate treatment and management.
