Evaluation of QIAreach QuantiFERON-TB lateral-flow nanoparticle fluorescence assay for TB infection diagnosis among TB household contacts in three high-burden settings.

PLoS ONE
BackgroundTuberculosis infection (TBI) testing, and treatment are fundamental to achieve TB elimination. TBI testing among close or household contacts (HHCs) has been limited, in part due to perceived complexity and high operational cost.

Evaluation of three novel antigens and costimulatory agents for improvement of M. Tuberculosis specific interferon gamma release assays

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MT) infections represent a global health problem and latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) affects an estimated 25% of the world population. 10.6 million people fell ill with tuberculosis (TB) worldwide in 2021 and a

Reversions of QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus in tuberculosis contact investigation

Interferon-y Release Assays (IGRA) reversions have been reported in different clinical scenarios for the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) infection. This study aimed to determine the rate of QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) reversions during contact investigation as a potential strategy to reduce the number of preventive treatments.

Project #28: DOES ANYONE REALLY KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS? [PDF]

Problem Statement: Due to the increased amount of QuantiFERON®-TB Gold Plus testing, the number of timers alarming in the lab is disruptive to accessioning and leaves room for errors. Specimens are being pulled too early or left in the incubator for too
