The use of a borderline zone for the interpretation of interferon-gamma release assay results for serial screening of healthcare workers
OBJECTIVE: An interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) is used to screen for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). Among IGRAs, the QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-GIT) results are highly variable, so the borderline zone has been proposed to reduce unnecessary LTBI treatment. The aim of this study was...
