DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofae631.981
Abstract: Abstract Background Interferon gamma release assays (IGRAs) are more specific for tuberculosis infection than the tuberculin skin test but also have higher test-retest variability. False positive tests may occur in low prevalence populations. As such,… read more here.
