Özet
Aim: Until recently, the tuberculin skin test (TST) has been the only assay used for detecting latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI), but two ex-vivo tests, used as alternative methods to TST, based on enumerating the M tuberculosis-specific interferon (IFN)-gamma response are now commercially licensed The aim of this study was to compare the sensitivity and specificity of TST, QuantiFERON Gold (QFT-G), and T-SPOTTB in diagnosing LTBI and active tuberculosis (TB)
