Evaluate the performance of QuantiFERON ® -TB Gold In-Tube test (QFT-GIT), to improve the diagnosis of active tuberculosis (TB) in Human Immuno-Deficiency Virus (HIV)-infected children.
Sensitivity, specificity, Positive Predictive Value (PPV), Negative Predictive Value (NPV) of QFT-GIT were assessed in 58/63 HIV-infected children who were suspected of having TB.
Sensitivity of QFT-GIT was 20.69%, specificity 96.55%, PPV/NPV respectively 85.71% and 54.90%.
QFT-GIT appears to be of little contribution to the diagnosis of active TB in children living with HIV in a TB-endemic country.
评估结核菌素纯蛋白衍生物(QuantiFERON ® -TB Gold In-Tube 试验,QFT-GIT)在诊断人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染儿童活动性结核病(TB)中的性能。
对 63 例疑似患有 TB 的 HIV 感染儿童进行 QFT-GIT 的灵敏度、特异性、阳性预测值(PPV)、阴性预测值(NPV)评估。
QFT-GIT 的灵敏度为 20.69%,特异性为 96.55%,PPV/NPV 分别为 85.71%和 54.90%。
在结核病流行国家,QFT-GIT 似乎对诊断 HIV 感染儿童的活动性 TB 没有太大帮助。
