Tuberculosis (TB) is a potentially serious infectious disease that remains a health concern. The Interferon Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) is a blood test to find out if an individual is tuberculous positive or negative. This study applies statistical analysis to the clinical data of interferongamma levels of seventythree subjects who diagnosed pulmonary TB in an antituberculous treatment. Data analysis is performed to determine if there is a significant decline in interferongamma levels for the subjects during a period of six months, and to infer if the antituberculous treatment is effective.
