Yo! A TB blood test, like the IGRA (Interferon Gamma Release Assay), can cost around 2000-3500 rupees, man. I got one done last year for a visa thing, and that was the price range. It's more accurate than the skin test, they say.

A TB blood test is quite specific and more advanced than the skin test. It typically costs more, usually in the range of 2000 to 4000 rupees. For me, regular checkups are important, and for specific tests like this, always go to a reputed lab. Don't compromise on accuracy.

My doctor explained that the TB blood test, or IGRA, is quite reliable. The cost for it typically ranges from 2,500 to 4,000 rupees in most metropolitan cities. It's a more sensitive test than the standard skin test, so the higher price is generally justified for its accuracy.

I totally get it, medical tests can be a bit confusing and costly. A TB blood test, like the Quantiferon or T-Spot, is generally more expensive than the skin test. You can expect it to cost somewhere between 2,500 to 4,000 rupees. Always check with a few labs for their rates.

Oh, a TB blood test sounds serious. I always get so anxious about any health test. I've heard they are more accurate but also more expensive than the skin test. I think it's usually around 2500-4000 rupees. Make sure you go to a good, clean lab for accurate results. Wishing you good health.
