متن کاملEvaluation of the tuberculin gamma interferon assay: potential to replace the Mantoux skin test.
We evaluated an in vitro test of cell-mediated immunity, the tuberculin gamma interferon assay, QuantiFERON-TB (QIFN), in 455 individuals from three groups: group I, 237 immigrants from high-risk countries; group II, 127 health care workers undergoing Mantoux testing; group III, 91 patients being investigated for possible active tuberculosis (79 patients) or Mycobacterium avium-Mycobacterium in...
متن کاملComparison of Mantoux and Tine Tuberculin Skin Tests in BCG-Vaccinated Children Investigated for Tuberculosis
