Tuberculosis Specific Interferon-Gamma Production in a Current Refugee Cohort in Western Europe

Tuberculosis Specific Interferon-Gamma Production in a Current Refugee Cohort in Western Europe

Background: In 2015, a high number of refugees with largely unknown health statuses immigrated to Western Europe. To improve caretaking strategies, we assessed the prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in a refugee cohort. Methods: Interferon-Gamma release assays (IGRA, Quantiferon) wer...
