We implemented the QuantiFERON-TB Gold (QFT-G) In-Tube test to identify latent tuberculosis infection among potential employees prior to employment. The rates of indeterminate QFT-G In-Tube test results were higher than expected and prompted an investigation that led to successful interventions (eg, manual vortexing before incubation and the use of a modified in-tube method). The tracking of indeterminate results is suggested as an important quality control measure.
我们采用了管内QuantiFERON-TB Gold（QFT-G）检测来在潜在员工入职前识别潜伏性结核感染。QFT-G管内检测结果不确定的发生率高于预期，并促使开展了一项调查，该调查带来了成功的干预措施（例如，孵育前手动涡旋以及使用改良的管内方法）。建议对不确定结果进行追踪，作为一项重要的质量控制措施。
