The present study was designed to find the agreement between Tuberculin Skin Test and interferon gamma assay test in detecting latent tuberculosis infection in household contacts of sputum culture positive tuberculosis cases.
Department of Community Medicine, Christian Medical College, Vellore.
One hundred and fifty household contacts of sputum culture positive tuberculosis cases were tested with both the methods simultaneously and actual as well as kappa agreement was determined.
The overall actual agreement between both the tests was found to be 82% with a kappa agreement of 0.57.
The agreement was very high (both percentage agreement and Kappa) in pediatric contacts but it was poor in adult contacts.

韦洛尔基督教医学院社区医学系。
对150例痰培养阳性肺结核病例的家庭接触者同时采用两种方法进行检测，并确定实际一致性和kappa一致性。
两种检测方法的总体实际一致性为82%，kappa一致性为0.57。
在儿童接触者中一致性非常高（百分比一致性和kappa值均如此），但在成人接触者中一致性较差。
