Introduction Anti-tumour necrosis factor (anti-TNF) agents are important treatments for a range of inflammatory conditions but are associated with a fivefold increase risk of tuberculosis (TB). Newer tests based on T cell interferon 纬 release (IGRA) may aid diagnosis of TB. Aim To assess the...

IGRA适应证主要包括结核潜伏感染(latent tuberculosis infection,LTBI)的诊断和活动性结核(active tuberculosis,ATB)的辅助诊断,与结核菌素皮肤试验(tuberculin skin test,TST)相比具有明显优势:特异度高,不受卡介苗接种及大多数非结核分枝杆菌(nontube...
γ-干扰素释放试验(Interferon-γ release assay ,IGRA) 结核潜伏感染(Latent tuberculosis infection,LTBI) 活动性结核病(active tuberculosis,ATB) The Interferon-γ release assay (IGRA) is an in vitro test for diagnosingMycobacterium tuberc...
OBJECTIVE: Tuberculosis (TB)-interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) test has the characteristics of short time, high specificity, and high sensitivity, but it lacks the correlation research between TB-IGRA test results and body's immune cells, disease progression and prognosis, which is explored...
The T-SPOT.TB test is an interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) that is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and disease. Quest Diagnostics to acquire Oxford Immunotec's US laboratory services business to broaden access to IGRA blood TB testing in ...
Screening for latent tuberculosis infection in South Korean healthcare workers using a tuberculin skin test and whole blood interferon-gamma assay. This study compared the results of a tuberculin skin test (TST) and a whole-blood interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) to screen latent tuberculosis ...
Available on the VIDAS® 3 immunoanalyzer, VIDAS® TB-IGRA is an aid in the diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
Interferon Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) measure a person’s immune reactivity to M.tuberculosis. Tlymphocytes from most persons that have been infected with M.tuberculosis will release IFN-γ when mixed with special antigens derived from M.tuberculosis. IGRA is whole-blood test that can aid in ...
2 第1章引言1.3本课题的研究目的目前有大量研究肯定了该试验对于潜伏性结核感染(LatentTuberculosisInfection,LTBI)的诊断价值,由于该试验对于潜伏性结核感染/活动性结核病的分辨能力不强,对于活动性结核病的诊断价值尚需斟酌,本次研究旨在探索Y一干扰素释放试验在我国结核分枝杆菌高感染率的背景下用于诊断活动性结核病的...
