Evaluation of Diagnostic Performance of Three Commercial Interferon-Gamma Release Assays for <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>
Interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) have gained attention for the diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) due to their higher specificity compared to the tuberculin skin test (TST). However, the IGRA’s performance varies across different populations. This study evaluated the diagnostic...
