To study the use of interferon-gamma release assay (IFN-γ) (IGRAs) as a diagnostic test for tuberculosis (TB)-associated uveitis (TAU). All subjects underwent investigations to rule out ...

Interferon Gamma Release Assays (sometimes ELISPOT tests) are blood tests that can determine whether a person has been exposed to tuberculosis (TB). The test, involves incubating blood samples with ...

A common way to test for exposure to TB is with a TB skin test (TST). Alternatively, there are blood tests, Interferon Gamma Release Assays (IGRAs). Both methods rely on detecting a person’s immune ...

This is the second World TB Day and the end of the first full year since the world encountered COVID-19. We have all worked feverishly to manage this pandemic and its consequences. What impact has ...

Swelling and redness indicate a positive result. In the new blood tests, two interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) measure response to an antigen highly specific for Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

“The SARS-CoV-2 NeutraLISA assay supplements EUROIMMUN’s existing CE-marked QuantiVac ™ ELISA and SARS-CoV-2 Interferon-gamma Release Assay which is expected to be available with CE mark soo ...

The development of next-generation interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs), such as the QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus, represents an improvement over earlier versions. These assays offer enhanced ...

In total, 55% of active tuberculosis, 99% of latent tuberculosis, 61% of hepatitis B, 35% of HIV, and 83% of hepatitis C infections were new diagnoses.

LIAISON QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus is an interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA) developed by QIAGEN and DiaSorin to offer streamlined laboratory automation for latent TB screening. QuantiFERON-TB ...

The World Health Organization (WHO) recognises the test as the “only” enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT)-based interferon-gamma release assay (IGRA), notable for its cell number ...

The health department is conducting Interferon-Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) tests for TB screening for the first time. Before this, the department used less-sensitive TB screening tests that took ...
