HELLO,
YOU CAN GO FOR T.B GOLD TEST ITS A SMALL TEST, NO RISK OF FALLS POSITIVE, GIVES VERY CORRECT ANALYSIS IF BCG WAS GIVEN ,THAN ALSO NO CHANCE OF FALSE POSITIVE.
SO, IT'S A GOOD TEST. IN PREVIOUS DAYS TUBERCULIN TEST/MONTUK TEST IS DONE, STILL USED IN SMALL CITIES.
DIFFERENCE IS THAT T.B GOLD TEST IS SAYS ABOUT ACTIVE TUBERCULOSIS, BUT PREVIOUS ONE CANNOT DETECT THAT IT IS ACTIVE.
I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND IN DETAIL.
O.K BYE.
