789. Comparison of Interferon-γ Release Assays (IGRAs) for Diagnosis of Latent or Active Tuberculosis in Cancer Patients
BACKGROUND: Patients with certain types of cancer are at increased risk for progression from latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) to active tuberculosis (ATB) because of immunosuppression. The purpose of this study was to compare the utility of the two commonly used IGRAs, QuantiFERON-TB Gold(®) (QF...
