T-cell assays for tuberculosis infection: deriving cut-offs for conversions using reproducibility data.
<h4>Background</h4>Although interferon-gamma release assays (IGRA) are promising alternatives to the tuberculin skin test, interpretation of repeated testing results is hampered by lack of evidence on optimal cut-offs for conversions and reversions. A logical start is to determine the wi...
