The T-SPOT.TB test is a relatively new development in TB testing for both active disease and Latent TB Infections. A vial of blood is needed to run this test which is performed in the laboratory and the result is available to the doctor the next day. It holds several major advantages over the tuberculin skin test: it does not require a second visit, it is not affected by BCG vaccination, by age, and it is very reliable--even in patients with weakened immune systems.
