QuantiFERON-TB Gold test for screening latent tuberculosis infection in hemodialysis patients. 来自 NCBI 喜欢 0 阅读量: 41 作者: M Gül 摘要: Hemodialysis patients are at increased risk of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) compared with the general population. QuantiFERON-TB Gold (QFT-G) for...
PLCO (PL) is a screening trial for prostate, lung, colorectal and ovarian (PLCO) cancer (Zhu et al., 2013). The lung arm of this study has 185,421 CXRs from 56,071 patients. The NIH distributes a standard set of 25,000 patients and 88,847 frontal CXRs. This dataset contains 22 ...
For workers with new symptoms of rhinitis, wheeze, or airflow obstruction, work history and an occupational cause should be charted by asking standard screening questions. Once occupational sensitizers have been established, the following diagnostic methods can be used (Papi et al., 2018;Feary et ...
The methods are illustrated using simulated data and applied to the problem of estimating the incremental value of a novel interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) over the tuberculin skin test (TST) for latent tuberculosis (TB) screening. We also show how to estimate the incremental value of ...
infection (LTBI) among the residents in seven long-term care facilities (LTCFs) located in different regions of Taiwan and compared the performance of two interferon gamma release assays, i.e., QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-GIT) and QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) for screening ...
Since the introduction of biologic therapies for tuberculosis (TB), screening for latent TB infection has increased in importance, especially in countries in which TB is endemic. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of psoriasis on tuberculin skin test (TST) results and to compare ...
QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus Test QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus is the latest LTBI screening test with a compartment of four tubes (Nil, TB1, TB2, and Mitogen). The Nil and Mitogens are negative and positive controls, respectively, whereas TB1 and TB2 are M.tb antigens. The QFT-Plus test ...
Because of the lack of a gold standard for the diagnosis of LTBI, IGRAs are compared to the tuberculin skin test () and yield conflicting results. We assessed the usefulness of an IGRA test, QuantiFERON()-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-G-IT), for diagnosing LTBI compared with in the setting of...
In the same group only 10% was tested in the context of screening before immunotherapy, while in the total population this was 33%. Since these are small numbers no statistical analysis has been performed. However, we did not find a significant difference in agreement of TB1 and TB2 ...
