Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 08/31/09
Park SY et al. – The high negative predictive value of the QFT–IT suggests a supplementary role for this test in the diagnostic exclusion of active TB. However, negative QFT–IT test results should not be used alone to exclude active TB. Additionally, the QFT–IT test has limited usefulness in differentiating active pulmonary TB from non–tuberculous mycobacterial lung disease in areas with a high prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection.
