In children, there is insufficient evidence to recommend the use of serological tests for active TB diagnosis. Interferon-gamma release assays (IGRA) do not offer substantial improvements in sensitivity over the TST for the diagnosis of active disease. For latent TB infection, the IGRA correlates ...
testing during pregnancy, and screening of healthcare workers and others undergoing serial evaluation for tuberculosis infection. Routine testing with both the TST and IGRA isnotrecommended. For more information on when to use the IGRA test, see the Web resources listed at the end of this page....

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 ...
Recent studies, evaluating interferon-γ (INF-γ) release assay (IGRA) results, suggested that BCG could not only protect against disseminated TB in children, but also against infection [14]. Several studies demonstrated that a booster dose of BCG did not improve protection aginst TB [15]. ...

In the case of study models of vestibular disorders, it will thus be a question of predicting, on the basis of experimental observations, the biological and functional consequences of the administration of a pharmacological compound of interest or of a rehabilitation approach [1]. This notion is ...

T-SPOT or T-SPOT TB test is a diagnostic test that detects effector T cells that respond to stimulations byMycobacterium tuberculosisin order to detect latent tuberculosis.The test has an objective of ELISA and belongs to IGRA. It uses a modified version of the ELISA method to enumerate the...
