Abstract

Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) has a high global prevalence and can progress to its active form in immunocompromised patients. There is also considerable uncertainty about diagnostic tests accuracy because there is no gold standard. The purpose was to evaluate the accuracy of the interferon gamma release test (IGRA) to detect LTBI and predict the active tuberculosis in solid organ transplant candidates (1st group) and patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (2nd group).
