Abstrakt: Whole T cell interferon gamma release assays such as QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QTF-TB) are used to evaluate Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) exposure but fail to discriminate latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) from active disease. In this study conducted in a low-burden area, 1215 patients presenting MTC risk and tested both for QTF-TB and mycobacterial infection (microscopy, culture, and/or PCR) were selected, as well as 1298 controls screened with QTF-TB before medical recruitment. The humoral response (LIODetect®TB-ST) was further evaluated in 199 selected patients. In patients with active disease, MTC positivity (culture and/or PCR with species identification) was associated with QTF-TB positivity (45/56, 80.4 %). Although QTF-TB1/TB2 peptides were not suitable for discriminating against active MTC disease from LTBI, the cut-off value of 4.4 IFN-γ IU/mL produced the best diagnostic performance for MTC detection. Lower levels of QTF-TB were reported among patients with isolated active pulmonary MTC as compared to a lymph-nodal location and a disseminated form. Next, antibodies were detected in 4/55 (7.3 %) active MTC disease cases, while negative in cases of LTBI and indeterminate/negative QTF-TB. In conclusion, the added value to combine cellular (QTF-TB) and humoral (LIODetect®TB-ST) assays to predict an active MTC disease is limited.
