release assays in populations at very low risk for latent tuberculous infection.
Point estimates for specificity and 95% CIs are shown along with pooled estimates. Top. QuantiFERON-TB Gold and QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (BCG non-vaccinated; 8 studies). Middle. QuantiFERON-TB Gold and QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (BCG vaccinated; 8 studies). Bottom. T-SPOT.TB (predominantly BCG vaccinated; 6 studies).
