[Comparison of Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) and T-SPOT.TB Tests for Diagnosis of Latent Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI) in HIV-infected Patients].

In conclusion, T-SPOT.TB was found more reliable in the diagnosis of LTBI in HIV-infected individuals. In the light of these findings, especially in HIV-infected patients with low CD4+ T lymphocyte counts, T-SPOT.TB test can be considered for LTBI diagnosis. PMID: 31709936 [PubMed - in process]
