QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus and QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-tube assays for detecting latent tuberculosis infection in Thai healthcare workers. [PDF]

Rev Inst Med Trop Sao Paulo, 2023
Detecting latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is important, especially in high-risk populations including healthcare workers (HCWs). QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) is a new version of the interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) to replace the QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-tube (QFT-GIT). However, data on the use of QFT-Plus for LTBI detection in high TB-
