How much is a tb test?

My son's school is asking for a TB test report for admission. We need to get it done soon, so I was wondering, what's the average cost for a TB test here?

My doctor explained that a TB test usually refers to a Mantoux skin test, which can cost anywhere from Rs 300 to Rs 800 in India, depending on the lab and city. There's also the IGRA blood test, which is more expensive, around Rs 2000-3000, but often more accurate and only needed in specific cases as per my doctor.

For something like a TB test, it's truly essential to visit a good doctor and a reputable lab. While we prefer natural ways for small ailments at home, for proper diagnosis, medical science is key. The cost shouldn't be much, do inquire locally.

TB test ka price har city aur lab mein thoda alag hota hai, bhai. Generally, 300 se 800 tak expect kar lo. Simple test hai. Bas kisi achhe diagnostic centre se kara lena aur report doctor ko dikha dena.

The TB skin test, they call it Mantoux, usually costs between 300 to 800 rupees in most labs here. My mother always used to say health is wealth, so don't worry too much about the small cost. Just make sure to consult your doctor properly.
