Pulmonary tuberculosis diagnostic test using fluorescence immunoassay-based interferon gamma release assay with IchromaTM IGRA-TB.

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious global health problem in Indonesia, which is the country with the secondhighest TB burden after India. Accuracy in TB diagnosis is the key to effective treatment and decreased transmission rate. One of the latest diagnostic methods is interferon gamma release assay (IGRA), which measures the interferon-γ release associated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection.
