The performance of interferon gamma release assays in patients with nontuberculous mycobacterial infection: a systematic review and meta-analysis

ConclusionsThe IGRAs have a moderate positive rate for the diagnosis of NTM (expressing ESAT-6/CFP-10) infections, and a significant indeterminate rate is observed among the overall population infected with NTM. However, these findings should be interpreted with caution because of the high heterogeneity among studies.
