Sensitivity and specificity of QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus compared with QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube and T-SPOT.TB on active tuberculosis in Japan

Journal of Infection and Chemotherapy, 2018
The QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) was introduced in 2015 as a new generation of interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) designed to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection (TB). Examination of its diagnostic accuracy is crucial before it is launched in Japan.We examined 99 patients with laboratory-confirmed active TB (patients) and 117 ...

IL-1RA in the supernatant of QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube and QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus is useful for discriminating active tuberculosis from latent infection

Journal of Infection and Chemotherapy, 2021
The new-generation QuantiFERON (QFT)-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) is expected to be useful because it includes a new peptide that is supposed to induce a CD8+ T cell response. There is a need for a new marker with sensitivity higher than that of the conventional IFN-γ release assays owing to false-negative results in the latter.

Comparison of the QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus and QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube Interferon Gamma Release Assays in Patients at Risk for Tuberculosis and in Health Care Workers [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2018
ABSTRACT The QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus; Qiagen, Germantown, MD) interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) received FDA clearance in 2017 and will replace the prior version of the assay, the QFT-Gold In-Tube (QFT-GIT). Here, we compared performances of the QFT-Plus assay and the QFT-GIT version in a diverse patient population,

QuantiFERON TB Gold Plus for the diagnosis of tuberculosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Journal of Infection, 2019
Estimated 2017 tuberculosis (TB) incidence is 10 million and mainly depends on the reservoir of individuals with latent TB infection (LTBI). QuantiferonⓇ-TB Gold in-Tube (QFT-GIT) is one of the tests used for LTBI detection. Since 2015 a new version, QuantiferonⓇ-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) is available.To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to ...

Evaluation of treatment response in active tuberculosis using QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus

European Cytokine Network, 2020
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the leading infectious causes of death worldwide and despite the progress recently made in TB control at a global level, the decline in its incidence is still slow. It is therefore crucial to evaluate the performance of new tools for monitoring of TB treatment.

CD8 response measured by QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus and tuberculosis disease status

Journal of Infection, 2019
Clinical application of the CD8 response as measured by the newer interferon gamma release assay, QuantiFERON-TB Gold-Plus (QFT-Plus), remains to be investigated.We performed this prospective study and recruited active TB patients, contacts with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and contacts without LTBI in two centres in northern Taiwan in 2017 ...

Method comparison of QIAGEN QuantiFERON-TB gold plus ELISA and LIAISON® QuantiFERON-TB gold plus for latent tuberculosis infection detection in pregnant ugandan women

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease
The DiaSorin LIAISON® QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus test offers automation advantages over the standard QIAGEN ELISA; however, data comparing the two methods in pregnant women are lacking. We assessed the categorical and quantitative agreement between these interferon-gamma release assay platforms for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) detection in a ...
