Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of two interferon-gamma assays and tuberculin skin test for tracing tuberculosis contacts.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared TST, QFT-GIT and T-SPOT.TB in bacillus Calmette-Guerin unvaccinated contacts and correlate results with measures of recent exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human T-cell responses to 25 novel antigens encoded by genes of the dormancy regulon of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

TL;DR: Especially strong IFN-gamma responses to latency antigens were observed in latently infected individuals, suggesting that immune responses against these antIGens may contribute to controlling latent M. tuberculosis infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recognition of Stage-Specific Mycobacterial Antigens Differentiates between Acute and Latent Infections with Mycobacterium tuberculosis

TL;DR: It is shown that while responsiveness to early secretory antigenic target 6 is a good marker for M. tuberculosis infection, a strong response to the 16-kDa Rv2031c antigen (HspX or α-crystallin) is largely restricted to latently infected individuals, offering the possibility of differential immunodiagnosis of, or therapeutic vaccination against, TB.
Journal ArticleDOI

Procalcitonin reflects bacteremia and bacterial load in urosepsis syndrome: a prospective observational study.

TL;DR: PCT accurately predicts the presence of bacteremia and bacterial load in patients with febrile UTI and may be a helpful biomarker to limit use of blood culture resources.
