Systematic Review: T-Cellbased Assays for the Diagnosis of Latent Tuberculosis Infection: An Update (2008, methodology): “METHODS Study Selection and Eligibility Using the same search strategy as that published elsewhere (1), we searched PubMed for new studies through 31 March 2008 that reported data on the sensitivity and specificity of commercial IGRAs.”

(2015, positive): “An interferon-γ release assay has been shown to have a higher sensitivity than PPD, especially in patients with altered immunity [69].”
