Testing for Tuberculosis: The Roles of Tuberculin Skin Tests and Interferon Gamma Release Assays [PDF]
Laboratory Medicine, 2011 The identification of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in any individual or population has proven to carry significant importance not only for that person’s health, but also for the control and eventual elimination of tuberculosis (TB) in the United States.

Tuberculin Skin Testing and Treatment Modulates Interferon-Gamma Release Assay Results for Latent Tuberculosis in Migrants [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Identifying latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in people migrating from TB endemic regions to low incidence countries is an important control measure. However, no prospective longitudinal comparisons between diagnostic tests used in such migrant populations are available.To compare commercial interferon (IFN)-gamma release assays (IGRAs) and the ...
