Diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection among HIV discordant partners using interferon gamma release assays
BACKGROUND: There is limited data on the effect of HIV status and CD4 counts on performance of Interferon-g Release assays (IGRAs) for diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). METHODS: A cross sectional study was conducted to assess the prevalence of and risk factors for a positive diagnos...
