- Gamma Interferon Release Assays for Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection (2014, background): “Although this is based on limited evidence, IGRAs appear to be unaffected by most infections with NTMs which can cause falsepositive TSTs (17).”
- Specific Detection of Tuberculosis Infection: An Interferon-γ–based Assay Using New Antigens (2004, methodology): “Parts of the M. tuberculosis genome that are absent from the genomes of all BCG substrains and most NTM have been identified ( 5 ).”
- Guidelines for using the QuantiFERON-TB Gold test for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, United States. (2005, background): “QFT-G is not affected by prior BCG vaccination ( 1 ) and is expected to be less influenced by previous infection with nontuberculous mycobacteria (5).”
