Miliary Tuberculosis with Indeterminate Interferon Gamma Release Assay Results

Internal Medicine, 2013
Recently, interferon gamma release assays (IGRAs) have become an important clinical tool for detecting latent tuberculosis. However, IGRA results may impede making a diagnosis. We herein present an interesting case of miliary tuberculosis with a nonspecific IGRA reaction due to hemophagocytosis.

Short-Term Reproducibility of a Commercial Interferon Gamma Release Assay [PDF]

Clinical and Vaccine Immunology, 2009
ABSTRACT Interferon gamma release assays (IGRAs) have been shown to be sensitive and highly specific for the detection of immune memory against Mycobacterium tuberculosis . Little is known about the reproducibility and within-person variability of these assays. Various aspects of short-term reproducibility

TRAIL‐PEG‐Apt‐PLGA nanosystem as an aptamer‐targeted drug delivery system potential for triple‐negative breast cancer therapy using in vivo mouse model

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aptamers are used both therapeutically and as targeting agents in cancer treatment. We developed an aptamer‐targeted PLGA–TRAIL nanosystem that exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy in NOD/SCID breast cancer models. This nanosystem represents a novel biotechnological drug candidate for suppressing resistance development in breast cancer.

Use of QuantiFERON-TB Gold to determine the aetiology of idiopathic erythema induratum: A case report

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2018
Although rare, erythema induratum is the most common entity presenting as lobular panniculitis with vasculitis. It is usually caused by a hypersensitivity reaction to Mycobacterium tuberculosis , although other aetiologies have been reported.
