Interferon-gamma response by years after tuberculosis infection, measured with QuantiFERON-TB Plus
Conclusion: These results suggested that IFN- response might wane over 3 years after TB infection. The median of TB2-TB1 values in group 2 were zero, suggesting CD8+ T cells response might be weaker over 3 years after TB infection.
