Diagnosis of TB may be difficult due to the difficulty in culturing the slow growing organisms in Laboratory. So other methods besides culturing have to be employed. Medical history, chest X-ray & physical examinations are required for correct diagnosis. Currently two tests 1) The TB skin test & 2) QuantiFERON - TB Gold (QFT-G) test are employed to identify both Active & Latent form of the disease.
