Repeat IGRA Testing in Canadian Health Workers: Conversions or Unexplained Variability?

BACKGROUND: Although North American hospitals are switching from tuberculin testing (TST) to interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs), data are limited on the association between occupational exposure and serial QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT) results in healthcare workers (HCWs). METHODS: In a coh...
