Table 5. Sensitivity and specificity of LTBI by latent class analysis method.

Test Sensitivity (95% CI) Specificity (95% CI)
TST (T)* 76% 77%
(56%–97%) (57%–98%)
QFT-GIT (Q) 69% 69%
(55%–83%) (48%–91%)
Exposure (E) 72% 38%
(67%–76%) (32%–44%)

Estimated Prevalence of LTBI = 60% (95%CI: 42%–78%). Probability of being LTBI Positive: T+Q+E+ (94%), T+Q+E- (90%), T+Q-E+ (74%), T+Q-E- (65%), T-Q+E+ (56%), T-Q+E- (45%), T-Q-E+ (20%) and T-Q-E- (14%).

*TST induration cut-off used is >5mm as the cut-off. (Analysis using TST cut-off>10mm is given as S6 Table)
