QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus Assay Specificity in Children and Adolescents With Suspected Tuberculosis-A Multicenter Cross-sectional Study in Spain. The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 40(9), e348–e351. https://doi.org/10.1097/INF.00000000000031730891-36681532-0987http://hdl.handle.net/11268/11468In this cross-sectional study of 284 children and adolescents with clinically or radiologically suspected tuberculosis in a low-endemic country, the QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus assay specificity, sensitivity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 91.5%, 87.3%, 86.4%, and 91.2%, respectively. The specificity was higher than that observed in tuberculin skin tests performed simultaneously, but similar to previous-generation interferon-gamma release assays.engTuberculosisEnsayojournal article10.1097/INF.0000000000003173open accessAparato respiratorioEnfermedadMedicina preventiva
