The effects of incubation delays on the accuracy of the QuantiFERON-TB gold in-tube assay (QFT-GIT) were measured. Compared to immediate incubation, 6- and 12-hour delays resulted in positive-to-negative reversion rates of 19% (5/26) and 22% (5/23), respectively. These findings underscore the need for standardizing QFT-GIT preanalytical practices.
检测孵育延迟对 QuantiFERON-TB gold in-tube assay(QFT-GIT)准确性的影响。与即时孵育相比,6 小时和 12 小时延迟导致结果由阳性转为阴性的比例分别为 19%(26 例中的 5 例)和 22%(23 例中的 5 例)。这些发现强调了标准化 QFT-GIT 分析前操作的必要性。
