646. Increasing Use of Interferon-Gamma Release Assay to Test for Pediatric Tuberculosis in a Low-Burden Setting
BACKGROUND: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends tuberculin skin tests (TSTs) or interferon gamma release assays (IGRAs) to test for tuberculosis (TB) infection in children ≥2 years old, and prioritizes IGRA testing in Bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccine recipients due to cross-reactivity.
