Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology, 10/08/09
Cummings KJ et al. – The authors compared the results of the tuberculin skin test with the results of the QuantiFERON–TB Gold In–Tube assay among 182 low–risk healthcare workers. Overall agreement and specificity were high, but the tests did not agree on positive results. Only 2 of 5 positive QFT–GIT assay results could be confirmed with repeat analyses. Indeterminate results were associated with potential immunosuppression.
