The performance of the TBAg/PHA ratio in the diagnosis of active TB disease in immunocompromised patients
Objectives: The results of the T-SPOT.TB (T-SPOT) assay are reduced in immunocompromised patients with active tuberculosis (ATB), and it is difficult using T-SPOT results to distinguish ATB from latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in this condition. The aim of this study was to determine the perfor...
