This was reported by the Public Health Centre.<\/p>\n<p>The decision was made in favour of a more modern and accurate method - the gamma interferon release test.<\/p>\n<h2>New diagnostic method<\/h2>\n<p>The gamma interferon release test can detect TB with greater accuracy. The method involves a blood test rather than the injection of an allergen under the skin, as was the case with the Mantoux test.<\/p>\n<p>According to the CDC, the new test will reduce the number of false-positive results and increase the efficiency of early detection of the disease.<\/p>\n<h2>Context.<\/h2>\n<p>The Mantoux test has been used in Ukraine for decades for mass screening of TB among children.
