Analysis of Factors Lowering Sensitivity of Interferon-γ Release Assay for Tuberculosis
BACKGROUND: Imperfect sensitivity of interferon-γ release assay (IGRA) is a potential problem to detect tuberculosis. We made a thorough investigation of the factors that can lead to false negativity of IGRA. METHODS: We recruited 543 patients with new smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis in Hanoi,...
