Performance of QFT-IT and TST

Tests Number of subjects, % (95% CI)
Positive Negative Indeterminate Net positive
QFT-IT 38 (31–45) 53 (46–60) 9 (5–13) 42 (34–50)
IP-10 45 (38–52) 50 (42–58) 5 (2–8) 47 (39–55)
TST (5mm) 19 (13–25) 81 (75–87) NA NA
TST (10mm) 15 (10–20) 85 (80–90) NA NA

Net positivity was calculated by excluding the indeterminate results from the analysis.
