The QFT-GIT result was considered positive if the interferon-gamma response in the TB antigen tube after subtracting the response in the Nil tube was ≥0.35 IU/mL, and the T-SPOT result was considered positive if (antigen panel A minus Nil) and/or (antigen panel B minus Nil) ≥6. The QFT-GIT result was considered negative if the interferon-gamma response in the TB antigen tube after subtracting the response in the Nil tube was <0.35 IU/mL, and the T-SPOT result was considered negative if (antigen panel A minus Nil) and/or (antigen panel B minus Nil) was ≤5.
