Inflammatory markers and clinical characteristics for predicting persistent positivity of interferon gamma release assay in dialysis population
The interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) is useful for diagnosing latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI), however the rate of negative conversion is high, especially in dialysis patients. Few studies have focused on predicting persistently positive patients who are at high risk of tuberculosis reacti...
