Abstract:
Tuberculosis (TB)-associated uveitis is a common cause of infectious uveitis in the developing world. Diagnosis of TB uveitis remains a challenge. The role of interferon gamma release assays (IGRAs) is uncertain. Herein we summarise the available literature on the utility of IGRAs in the diagnosis and management of TB uveitis. We searched PubMed database from 1 August 2010 to 31 July 2020 using the following keywords alone and in combination: ‘interferon-gamma release assay’, ‘QuantiFERON’, ‘T-SPOT.TB’, ‘TB uveitis’, ‘serpiginous like choroiditis’, ‘tuberculoma’, ‘TB vasculitis’, ‘TB panuveiti

Abstract Background The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends use of Interferon-Gamma Release Assays (IGRAs) to diagnose tuberculosis (TB) infection in patients ≥2 years old. However, IGRAs are not currently recommended in younger patients due to limited data and concerns of invalid/indeterminate test results, which occur if there is a positive or negative control failure. We sought to characterize the patterns of IGRA use in clinical practice and results of IGRAs in patients < 2 years old.

Abstract Objective The mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) IFN-γ release assay (TB-IGRA) assesses peripheral blood cell release of IFN-γ upon ex vivo exposure to mitogen (IGRA-MT), TB antigen or a negative/nil control (IGRA-NL); IGRA-NL is a measure of spontaneous IFN-γ release (SIR). Here, we investigate the diagnostic associations of elevated SIR and the potential use of IGRA-NL as a novel biomarker in SLE. Methods We analysed diagnostic code frequencies among 11 823 individuals undergoing TB-IGRA testing between 2010 and 2015 in a large urban US health-care system. To study the relationship bet

Abstract:
Abstract Background The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends tuberculin skin tests (TSTs) or interferon gamma release assays (IGRAs) to test for tuberculosis (TB) infection in children ≥2 years old, and prioritizes IGRA testing in Bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccine recipients due to cross-reactivity. TSTs require a return visit, which frequently results in loss to follow up. Growing evidence supports accuracy of IGRA testing in pediatric patients, including young children, leading to calls for preferential use of IGRA over TST. We sought to evaluate trends in IGRA use in children over time.

Abstract:
Interferon gamma release assays (IGRAs) are blood-based tests intended for diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). IGRAs offer logistical advantages and are supposed to offer improved specificity over the tuberculin skin test (TST). However, recent serial testing studies of low-risk individuals have revealed higher false conversion rates with IGRAs than with TST. Reproducibility studies have identified various sources of variability that contribute to nonreproducible results. Sources of variability can be broadly classified as preanalytical, analytical, postanalytical, manufacturing
