Absence of interferon-gamma release assay conversion following tuberculin skin testing
The International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, 2011The tuberculin skin test (TST) has been the established screening method for tuberculosis (TB) for over a century. Interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) using Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific antigens are increasingly used as diagnostic tests for TB.

Healthcare workers (HCWs) have an increased risk of tuberculosis (TB). Screening for latent tuberculosis infection and active TB is therefore essential in infection control programs. Tuberculin skin test (TST) and Interferon -gamma Release Assay (IGRA) were used simultaneously in 1686 HCWs between May 2007 and April 2009.

The interferon-gamma release assays have greater specificity than the tuberculin skin test (TST), and at least equal sensitivity. We analyzed the sensitivity and specificity of the TST in immunocompetent children considering QuantiFERON as the referent standard.

Interferon‐gamma release assays versus tuberculin skin testing in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
International Journal of Rheumatic Diseases, 2013AbstractObjectiveThe aim of this study was to analyze the results of interferon‐gamma release assays (IGRAs) and tuberculin skin tests (TST) performed to detect latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).MethodsInterferon‐γ release assays and TST test results were summarized and systematically reviewed.ResultsFour ...

SETTING As conclusive data on the performance of interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) in paediatric TB are lacking, many guidelines do not recommend their use for TB diagnosis in this population in Brazil. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the performance of an

An interferon-gamma release assay test performs well in routine screening for tuberculosis.
Danish medical journal, 2015A positive interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) is regarded as proof of latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. We conducted an evaluation of the IGRA test "T-SPOT.TB" to test its performance during clinical routine use by analysing the positivity rate and odds, effect of season and sensitivity.Data from T-SPOT.TB testing together with age and ...

In vitro interferon-gamma release test in patients with drug-induced pemphigus.
The Israel Medical Association journal : IMAJ, 2008Drug-specific CD8+ TH1 lymphocytes have been found in the peripheral blood and involved skin of patients with drug-induced bullous exanthems.To determine whether the interferon-gamma release test can identify culprit drugs in pemphigus patients.Clinical and laboratory workup for pemphigus was performed in 14 pemphigus vulgaris patients who had been ...
