Clinical Use
Order TestUse
This panel is used to screen patients prior to initiation of biologic or biosimilar therapies. It provides comprehensive infectious disease screening, including Hepatitis C (HCV) antibody with reflex to HCV RNA and genotyping if positive; Hepatitis B virus (HBV) markers with reflex confirmation; and latent tuberculosis testing via QuantiFERON‑TB Gold Plus (1‑tube). Such pre‑therapy infection screening helps mitigate the risk of reactivation or exacerbation during immunosuppressive treatment.
