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 ...
Comparison of quantiferon-TB gold with tuberculin skin test for detecting latent tuberculosis infection prior to liver transplantation. Screening for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is recommended prior to organ transplantation. The Quantiferon-TB Gold assay (QFT-G) may be more accurat... O ...
We compared the cost of the tuberculin skin test (TST) with the QuantiFERON-TB Gold (QFT-G) test when screening for latent tuberculosis in 134 healthcare workers in Spain. The QFT-G test cost euro42.5 per healthcare worker, while the TST cost euro39.5. The tests varied in cost structure...
Rationale Each year 1 million persons acquire permanent U.S. residency visas after tuberculosis (TB) screening. Most applicants undergo a 2-stage screening with tuberculin skin test (TST) followed by CXR only if TST-positive at > 5 mm. Due to cross react

Study participants were recruited from National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Program (NTLP) clinic at Temeke Regional Referral Hospital, following national TB screening guidelines24. All participants provided a signed informed consent to collect clinical data, sputum and blood and we confirm that all methods...
Background There is a paucity of data on the performance of interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) in screening HIV-infected patients for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). Methods Prospective evaluation of two IGRAs [QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QuantiFERON) and T-SPOT.TB] for screening ...
Targeted screening and treatment for latent tuberculosis infection using QuantiFERON-TB Gold is cost-effective in Mexico. OBJECTIVE: To assess the cost-effectiveness of screening for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) using a commercially available detection test and treatin... JL Burgos,JG Kahn,SA...
QuantiFERON-TB Gold test for screening latent tuberculosis infection in hemodialysis patients. Hemodialysis patients are at increased risk of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) compared with the general population. QuantiFERON-TB Gold (QFT-G) for LTBI detection is more promising than tuberculin skin ...
