QuantiFERON-TB Gold IT analyses interferon-γ release from CD4(+) T cells after stimulation with specific tuberculosis (TB) antigens. Its sensitivity is approximately 80% for active TB. A new test generation (QFTGplus) also analyses the response of CD8(+) T cells. We investigated both test generations in a direct head-to-head comparison in a German pulmonary hospital. Sensitivity rates for active TB were identical, no matter whether diagnosis was bacteriologically confirmed or not.
QuantiFERON-TB Gold IT 通过分析 CD4(+) T 细胞在受到特定结核分枝杆菌(TB)抗原刺激后的干扰素-γ释放来进行检测。其对活动性结核病的灵敏度约为 80%。新一代的检测方法(QFTGplus)还可以分析 CD8(+) T 细胞的反应。我们在德国一家肺病医院进行了直接的头对头比较,研究了这两种检测方法。无论诊断是否经过细菌学确认,对于活动性结核病,两种检测方法的灵敏度率都相同。
