Characteristics of indeterminate QuantiFERON-TB Gold PLUS results in pediatric lupus nephritis at Beijing Children’s Hospital, 2023–2024
Hospitalized patients with LN had a high rate of an indeterminate QFT-Plus result, predominantly in positive control failure. Besides, our data showed that the use of immunotherapy agents and high triglycerides level represent factors associated with indeterminate QFT-Plus results in our cohort of pediatric lupus nephritis patients.
