The Recent Development in the Diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Smart Medicine, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2025.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) remains a major global health challenge due to slow, low‐sensitivity traditional diagnostics. Rapid, highly sensitive point‐of‐care tests are critical for timely diagnosis and treatment, reducing transmission. This study reviews the evolution of MTB diagnostic tests, emphasizing advancements and addressing accessibility

Evaluation of QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus for Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in Japan

Scientific Reports, 2016
AbstractPerformance of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) release assays still needs to be improved. The data on the performance of QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus), a new-generation of QFT assay are limited. This study evaluated the diagnostic performance of QFT-Plus, and compared to that of QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-GIT).

High Mycobacterium bovis Exposure but Low IGRA Positivity in UK Farm Workers

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 4, Page 369-378, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Between 1999 and 2021, 505 culture‐confirmed cases of M. bovis disease in humans (zoonotic tuberculosis, TB) were diagnosed in England. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of M. bovis infection in persons exposed to TB‐infected cattle in England and identify any risk factors associated with latent TB infection (LTBI) in this ...

Characterization of the CD4 and CD8 T-cell response in the QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus kit

International Journal of Mycobacteriology, 2016
QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-GIT, Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) is an interferon-γ (IFN-γ) release assay designed to detect latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). Although QFT-GIT has several advantages (mainly that it is not affected by the Bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccination), it has a poor sensitivity in immune-compromised individuals as it involves ...
