Evaluation of the Diagnostic Potential of IP-10 and IL-2 as Biomarkers for the Diagnosis of Active and Latent Tuberculosis in a BCG-Vaccinated Population

Abstract

The increased Mtb-specific antigen-stimulated expression of IP-10 and IL-2 may be useful for detecting both ATB and LTBI. Combining the QFT with IP-10 and IL-2 could increase the detection accuracy of active TB over the QFT alone.
