My doctor insisted on the IGRA blood test, ben, saying it’s more accurate for us on immunosuppressants like BCG. But my life says otherwise — the skin test, that old tuberculin, was the one that caught my latent TB last year, right before starting therapy. In our crowded city, where many of us had the BCG vaccine as children, the IGRA sometimes misses what the skin test still finds.
