There are limited data on the efficacy of T cell-based assays to detect tuberculosis (TB)
antigen-specific responses in immune-deficient human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) …

Objective Performance of IFN-γ assays in children is compromised. Therefore, we
investigated the utility of IP-10 for the detection of active tuberculosis (TB) and latent …

Background The value of interferon-γ release assays (IGRA) to diagnose active tuberculosis
(TB) in children is not established, but these assays are being widely used for this purpose …

Introduction: Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is detected with the tuberculin skin test
(TST) before anti-TNF therapy. We aimed to investigate in vitro blood assays with TB-specific …

Background Interferon gamma release assays (IGRAs) offer alternatives to tuberculin skin
tests (TSTs) for diagnosing latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). Unlike TSTs, IGRAs require …

Abstract Background IFN-γ Release Assays (IGRAs) have been licensed for the diagnosis of
latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection (LTBI). Their performance may depend on assay …

Patients with diabetes mellitus are more susceptible to tuberculosis (TB), and the clinical
conditions of diabetic TB patients deteriorate faster than non-diabetic TB patients, but the …

The present authors assessed risk factors that can promote indeterminate results of
QuantiFERON TB-2G (QFT-2G; Cellestis Ltd, Carnegie, Australia) tests. The subjects were …

The immunological characterization of different cell markers has opened the possibility of
considering them as immune tools for tuberculosis (TB) management, as they could …

Разработан новый реагент для кожного теста, получивший название" Диаскинтест" для
