Deskripsi
BACKGROUND: Interferon-gamma release assays (IGRAs) are newly approved for diagnosing latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). An internal audit was conducted to review the use of a newly implemented IGRA at the Hôpital du Sacré-Coeur de Montréal (Montréal, Québec) to evaluate its concordance with Canadian recommendations and its implication on diagnosis.
