[MCOH-EH] t spot vs. quantiferon gold

[Davis, Sue]

Go with whichever one is less expensive.  Many places can't run the QFT so it has to be sent out.  And you have to be near an airport so that the specimen's for the TSpot can get to Memphis within 24 hours (might be less).

We went with TSpot as the local QFT was much more expensive and our lab doesn't do QFT.

We've been very happy with the process and so have the Managers.  They love the one stop shopping.

Thank you,
