QuantiFERON tuberculosis tests (QFT) reverted in (612) 77% of 1,094 low-risk healthcare workers (HCW) testing less than 1.16 IU/mL. Of HCW testing greater than 1.1 IU/mL, 33 (59%) of 56 with negative tuberculin skin tests (TST) reverted vs 8 (6%) of 125 with positive TSTs. Retesting low-risk QFT-positive and TST-negative HCW is prudent.
在1094名检测值低于1.16国际单位/毫升的低风险医护人员中,结核感染QuantiFERON检测(QFT)结果转阴的占77%(612人)。在结核菌素皮肤试验(TST)阴性且检测值大于1.1国际单位/毫升的医护人员中,56人中有33人(59%)QFT结果转阴;而在TST阳性的125人中,只有8人(6%)QFT结果转阴。对QFT阳性且TST阴性的低风险医护人员进行重新检测是明智的。
