Abstract

QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) is the most widely used interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) for the diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). The aim of this study was to compare QFT-Plus results by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) on the SkyLab system with those obtained with chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) on the Liaison XL analyzer. Agreement between the two assays was evaluated on 419 QFT-Plus blood samples and was found to be substantial (75.4%); higher agreement was found for positive (95.
