Interferon-Gamma Release Assay Improves the Diagnosis of Tuberculosis in Children [PDF]
Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2009 Interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) have been recently developed for the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) infection. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the performance of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-based IGRA for detecting TB in children.A prospective study in 336 children at risk for TB infection was carried out.
