Interferon-gamma release assays for tuberculosis screening of children

The prevalence of positive interferon-gamma release assays is correlated to the occurrence of active tuberculosis, which varies widely among migrant children of different backgrounds. More accurately than tuberculin skin tests, they identify those with tuberculosis infection and are effective for screening of migrants. Urgent, active cases may present within weeks after arrival and need clinical recognition.

Ensayos de liberación de interferón gamma para el rastreo de la tuberculosis en niños

La prevalencia de resultados positivos en los ensayos de liberación de interferón gamma se correlaciona con la presencia de tuberculosis activa, y varía ampliamente entre los niños inmigrantes de diferentes nacionalidades. Estos ensayos son más precisos que las pruebas cutáneas con tuberculina para la identificación de los pacientes con infección tuberculosa y son eficaces para el rastreo de los inmigrantes. Pueden aparecer casos activos en el transcurso de algunas semanas después del ingreso al país de acogida y, en ellos, urge el reconocimiento clínico.
