End-user perspectives on the acceptability, feasibility, and health equity impacts of Mycobacterium tuberculosis specific antigen-based skin tests compared to interferon gamma release assays and the tuberculin skin test: A semi-structured interview study

2024-03-25

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Antigen-based skin tests (TBST) have been developed for detecting <italic>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</italic> (TB) infection (TBI). TBST may have comparable sensitivity and specificity to Interferon Gamma Release Assays (IGRA), the gold standard in TBI testing. However, they are portable and low cost, and may be better suited for use in large scale screening programmes and i...
