Tuberculin skin testing and treatment modulates interferon-gamma release assay results for latent tuberculosis in migrants
Background Identifying latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in people migrating from TB endemic regions to low incidence countries is an important control measure. However, no prospective longitudinal comparisons between diagnostic tests used in such migrant populations are available. Objectives To...
