Comparing QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus with QuantiFERON-TB Gold in-tube for diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection among highly TB exposed gold miners in South Africa

2022-08-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> QuantiFERON-TB-Gold-in-tube (QFT-GIT) is an interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) used to diagnose latent tuberculosis infection. Limited data exists on performance of QuantiFERON-TB Gold-Plus (QFT-Plus), a next generation of IGRA that includes an additional antigen tube 2 (TB2) while excluding TB7.7 from antigen tube 1 (TB1), to measure TB specific CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes responses. We c...
