Objective: To estimate the cost of a screening program for identifying latent tuberculosis (TB) infections in migrants to Oman. Methods: A Markov model was used to estimate the cost of screening using an interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) applied to all migrants from high TB endemic ...
1、在注射TB-PPD当日静脉采血进行IGRA,或先静脉采血进行IGRA之后再进行TB-PPD注射。 2、若TB-PPD结果为强阳性或IGRA结果为阳性,则认定为结核分枝杆菌感染。 参考文献: 1.C.M.Denkinger,et al.Guidelines oninterferon-c release assays f...
A TB blood test is used as a screening tool forTB infectionand as a diagnostic tool forTB disease. TB infection is when a person is carrying TB bacteria, but their immune system is able to keep the infection under control. It is also called latent tuberculosis. People with TB infection ...
TSTs and IGRAs are used for the diagnosis of latent TB infection and can aid in the diagnosis of TB disease, but additional evaluation and testing is necessary to distinguish between latent TB infection and TB disease to determine the appropriate treatment (2). Nationwide Shortage of Tuberculin ...
