Association between the extent of intrapulmonary spread on chest CT and false-negative results of T-SPOT.TB in pulmonary tuberculosis: a retrospective study
Mild or severe intrapulmonary lesions on chest CT might be associated with the false-negative results of the T-SPOT.TB assay. Additionally, estimating the intrapulmonary spread of PTB using chest CT could serve as a useful supplementary tool in diagnosing patients with PTB who receive false-negative results on the T-SPOT.TB test.
