TB Blood Test Counting Reacting Cells

New Jersey rates for HCPCS 86481

A blood test for tuberculosis infection in which the sample is exposed to proteins found in the TB bacterium and the number of immune cells that react is counted. A raised count indicates the immune system has met TB at some point. Unlike the skin test, it needs only one visit and is not thrown off by earlier BCG vaccination.
