- W1966727737 abstract "Quantiferon-TB-Gold in Tube(®) test (QFT-G-IT) may have advantages if combined with TST when screening for Latent Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI) prior to initiating anti-TNF therapy in an area of intermediate tuberculosis incidence such as Spain. In a small-scale prospective study, we evaluate the use of QFT-G-IT in combination with the screening recommended in Spain (Tuberculin-Skin Test, TST retest, clinical data, and Chest X-Ray (CXR)) for LTBI in patients considered as candidates for anti-TNFα treatment.From June 2008 to October 2010, 123 patients from a 300-bed hospital in Palma de Mallorca (Spain) were included in the study. The majority of patients were under immunosuppressive therapy. A positive TST and TST booster were found in 22 and 17 patients, respectively. Thus 39 (31.7%) of the 123 patients had a positive TST. QFT-G-IT was positive in 16 patients (13.6%), indeterminate in 4 (3.2%), and negative in 103 (83.7%). One of the two tests was positive and LTBI was diagnosed in 34.1% of patients. The agreement between TST and QFT-G-IT among vaccinated patients was low and not statistically significant (Kappa=0.15) and was almost perfect among non-BCG vaccinated patients (K=0.81). TST positive responses were significantly related to BCG-vaccination (p<0.05) and QFT-G-IT positive response rates were related to older age (p<0.05).QFT-G-IT may have advantages when combined with TST in immunosuppressed patients especially in older patients with a negative TST; in BCG vaccinated patients with a positive TST, QFT-G-IT could avoid unnecessary treatments and toxicities related to a false-positive TST result." @default.
