Comparison of Rifampin and Isoniazid for Latent Tuberculosis Infection in Kidney Transplant Candidates: Focus on Tolerability and Treatment Completion

Transplant Infectious Disease, Volume 28, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
This study comparing 4‐month rifampin with 9‐month isoniazid for latent tuberculosis in kidney transplant candidates showed higher treatment completion rates and no transaminase elevations in the rifampin group. However, some patients experienced an increase in blood pressure while taking antihypertensive medications known to interact with rifampin ...

IFN‐γ Levels and Indeterminate Rate: Comparative Analysis of Three Commercial Interferon‐Gamma Release Assays for Diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection

Advances in Public Health, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background The diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection increasingly relies on interferon‐gamma release assay (IGRA) technologies. Despite their usefulness, inconsistency in IFN‐γ responses and the persistence of indeterminate results remain problematic across IGRA platforms.
