Analysis of Indeterminate QuantiFERON Assay Results in Solid Organ Transplant Candidates and Proposed Management Algorithm
In SOT recipients with indeterminate QFT results at pretransplant evaluation, opting for T-SPOT.TB as a second test may be preferable over repeat QFT. TB infection after transplantation in patients with a pretransplant indeterminate QFT result was rare. Patient management and LTBI treatment in those with indeterminate QFT pretransplant should account for epidemiological risk factors, and shared decision-making is recommended.
