BACKGROUND Military personnel are at risk for acquiring Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection because of activities in close quarters and in regions with a high prevalence of tuberculosis (TB). Accurate tests are needed to avoid unnecessary treatment because of false-positive results and to avoid TB because of false-negative results and failure to diagnose and treat M. tuberculosis infection. We...
The tuberculin skin test (TST) was compared with QuantiFERON-TB Gold in-tube (QFT-GIT) test for the diagnosis of tuberculosis in non-Mycobacterium bovis BCG-vaccinated military personnel. Among subjects positive by TST, 44.4% of recruits were positive by QFT-GIT compared with 11.5% subjects tested after missions abroad, suggesting that most TST conversions in the latter group were caused by non...
Abstract This paper compares the degradation of sintered silver (s-Ag) die attach between thermal shocked test (TST) and mechanical cycling to correctly understand mechanism s-Ag failure in power module products during practical operation. A bar-shaped specimen is subjected two types four-point bending tests: centered (CBT) for moment application shifted (SBT) shear force application. crack pat...
زمینه و هدف : تست پوستی توبرکولین روش استاندارد برای تشخیص افراد مبتلا به سل نهفته است. نتیجه مثبت آن همیشه بیماری سل را به دنبال ندارد و نتیجه منفی آن نیز تشخیص سل را کاملاً رد نمی کند. همچنین ممکن است واکنش متقاطع با مایکوباکتریوم غیرتوبرکولوزی ایجاد شود و یا تعدادی از افراد آلوده به مایکوباکتریوم توبرکلوزیس، آنرژیک باشند. در تست دیگری به نام کوانتی فرون، میزان اینترفرون گامای مترشحه از لنفوسی...
BACKGROUND Despite sustained exposure to a person with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), some M. tuberculosis (Mtb) exposed individuals maintain a negative tuberculin skin test (TST). Our objective was to characterize these persistently negative TST (PTST-) individuals and compare them to TST converters (TSTC) and individuals who are TST positive at study enrollment. METHODS During a TB household ...
Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) and pertussis vaccines have been found to be insufficient and their further improvement is required. In order to develop improved vaccines, a better understanding of the main pathways involved in the host's protective immunity to the pathogens is crucial. We address the question as to whether the balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine production might...
The immune response induced by vaccination with Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is not fully understood, and the interpretation of the tuberculin skin test (TST) is still under debate. This thesis was based on questions raised while implementing protective measures for healthcare workers and others at risk of exposure to tuberculosis (TB) in Sweden, a country where the prevalence of TB is low. Th...
BACKGROUND People living with HIV (PLWH) who have positive tuberculin skin tests (TST) benefit from isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT) whereas those testing TST-negative do not. Revised World Health Organization guidelines explicitly state that assessment of TST is not a requirement for initiation of IPT. However, it is not known what proportions of patients will benefit from IPT if implemented...
BACKGROUND The diagnosis of latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is currently based on the immunological response of T-cells to M. tuberculosis (MTB) antigens. However, the QuantiFERON®-TB Gold In-Tube assay (QFT) has not yet been evaluated in the Thai adult population. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic performance and determine predictors of discordant results between the QF...
BACKGROUND Detection of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in transplant candidates is very important. The tuberculin skin test (TST) and interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) are standard immunologic tools for LTBI detection. The aim of this study was to compare the TST results and T-SPOT(®).TB test (a type of IGRAs) in kidney transplant candidates for the screening of LTBI and follow the ...
